The legend of Jagaddhatri is inspired from a tale in the ''[[Kena_Upanishad#Allegory_of_three_gods_and_one_goddess_-_Third_and_Fourth_khandas|Kena Upanishad]]''. In the ''Katyayani [[Tantras (Hinduism)|Tantra]]'', the following legend is told. After the goddess [[Durga]] killed [[Mahishasura]], the gods of [[Svarga]] forgot about her powers. So, in order to test them, Parvati appeared before the gods [[Agni]], [[Vayu]], [[Varuna]], and [[Chandra]], who considered themselves invincible and were engulfed by ''[[ahamkara]]'' (ego). She asked them to move a tiny blade of grass. Vayu failed to pluck it; Agni failed to burn it. Every god failed at the task. In the end, they understood that the [[Mahadevi|Goddess]] is the source of all power in the universe; even theirs. The goddess appeared before them as Uma, riding on a lion. The goddess is equated with [[Brahman]] in the narrative. The goddess gave the ego of the gods the form of an elephant. Jagaddhatri is depicted sitting on a lion with an elephant under them. The elephant, symbolizing ''ahamkara'', lies under the paws of her ''[[vahana]]'' the lion, who symbolises courage, valour and the strength to overcome any challenges, including one's internal struggles with the ''Shada Ripus'' ("the six enemies").
The legend of the goddess is found in the [[Kena Upanishad|Kena]] [[Upanishads|Upanishad]] and the [[Katyayani]] [[Tantras (Hinduism)|Tantra]]. After the goddess [[Durga]] killed [[Mahishasura]], the gods of [[Svarga]] forgot about her powers. So, in order to test them and teach them a lesson, Parvati appeared before [[Agni]], [[Vayu]], [[Varuna]], and [[Chandra]], who considered themselves invincible and were engulfed by a false sense of pride in themselves, ''[[ahamkara]],'' the infallible ego. She asked them to take out and move a tiny blade of grass. Vayu failed to pluck it, and Agni failed to burn it. One by one, every god tried but failed to do the task. In the end, they understood that [[Devi]] is the source of all forms of power in the universe, and even theirs belonged to her. The Devas realized their misgivings and the goddess appeared before them as [[Uma]], riding on a lion. The goddess gave the ego of the Devas, the form of an elephant. That is why Goddess Jagaddhatri is depicted sitting on a lion with an elephant under her. The elephant, symbolizing ''[[ahamkara]],'' lies under the fierce paws of her ''[[vahana]],'' the majestic lion, who symbolises courage, valour and the strength to overcome any challenges, including one's internal struggles with the ''Shada Ripus (''meaning the six enemies)''.''

This is where we find mention of Devi as Jagadhatri for the first time. She is told to be the manifestation of [[Brahman|Saguna Bramha]] and symbol of [[Sattva|Sattwa]] Guna. Even though the world is witnessing destruction and creation every moment but it never gets destroyed totally. The reason is the [[Mahadevi|Maha Shakti]] who protects and sustains it. She's the eternal, unaffected by the waves of time. Devi Jagadhatri is the manifestation of that Maha Shakti.


"You must believe in the Ishwara rupa. Do you know the meaning of Jagadhatri rupa? She is carrying the world. If she stops then the world will get destroyed" is said by [[Ramakrishna|Sri Ramakrishna]].
