According to Devi Purana, Shiva Purana and religious texts, there was a Mahadaitya Ruru in the lineage of Hiranyaksha. Ruru had a son, Durgam. Durgamasura did the penance of Brahma ji and subjugated the four Vedas. Due to the absence of Vedas, all the activities disappeared. Brahmins gave up their religion. There was an all-out outcry. Due to the Brahmins becoming devoid of religion, the rituals of sacrifice were stopped and the power of the deities also began to diminish. Due to which there was a severe famine. No animal got water, due to lack of water, the vegetation also dried up. So all the living beings started dying due to hunger and thirst. Durgamasur had a fierce battle with the gods, in which the gods were defeated, so the deities suffering from the atrocities of Durgamasur hid in the Shivalik ranges and started meditating, chanting, worshiping and praising Jagadamba. On praising Jagadamba, Mahamaya Maa Bhuvaneshwari who is famous by the names Maheshani, Bhuvanesi appeared in the form of Ionija (who has no parents) at this place. Seeing the plight of the entire creation, Jagdambas heart sank and tears started flowing from his eyes. Hundred eyes appeared on the mothers body. By the grace of Shata Naina Devi, there was a great rain in the world and the rivers and ponds were filled with water. At that time the deities worshiped the mother in the name of Shatakshi Devi. Shatakshi Devi assumed a divine benign form. Mata Chaturbhuji was seated on Kamalasana. In her hands she was holding a lotus, arrow, herb and fruit and a splendid bow. Bhagwati Parameshwari manifested many herbs from her body. By eating them, the worlds appetites were pacified. When the mother looked at the mountain, first a tuber named Saral was born. In this divine form, the mother was worshiped in the name of Shakambhari Devi. After that she took a beautiful form to woo Durgamasur and sat on the Shivalik hill. When the Asuras saw Jagadamba sitting on the hill, they came with the thought of catching her. Durgamasura herself also came, then the goddess made a circle outside the earth and heaven and herself stood outside it. Devi had a fierce battle with Durgamasur, in the end Durgamasur was killed. At this very place, Mother Jagdamba killed Durgamasur and other demons and blessed the devotee Bhuredev (a form of Bhairav) with immortality. Go for the darshan of Shakambhari Devi. The place where Mata killed the demon Durgamasur is now the ground of Virkhet. Where the mother had made a beautiful form and sat on the crest of the hill, there is a temple of Goddess Shakambhari. There is a temple of Baba Bhuradev at the place where Mother gave the boon of immortality to Bhura Dev. This temple of Maa Shakambhari Devi is the first and ancient temple located in the mountainous part of Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, this area full of natural beauty and green valley attracts the mind of the worshiper. According to Devi Purana, Shatakshi, Shakambhari and Durga are the names of the same goddess.
