"Mother Durga" "one who can redeem in situations of utmost distress" is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having eight arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons and a lotus flower, maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures.
Maa Durga is the Mother Goddess, as well as the slayer of evils at the same time. Durga Maa is a form of Adi Shakti, the supremely radiant Goddess. In Sanskrit Durga means “One who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach”. Goddess Durga represents the supreme power and is worshiped in various forms including Parvati, Bhairavi, Vaishnavi, Kali, Jagatmata, Mahishasurmardhini, Gauri, Chandi and Uma.
Durga's darker aspect is Kali Maa.
An embodiment of creative feminine force (Shakti), Durga exists in a state of svātantrya (independence from the universe and anything/anybody else, i.e., self-sufficiency) and fierce compassion. She is Maha kali, the fiercer, demon-fighting form of Shiva's wife, goddess Parvati. Durga manifests fearlessness and patience, and never loses her sense of humor, even during spiritual battles of epic proportion.

All these names are well versed in Durga Saptshati by Rishi Markaṇdeya in which Lord Shiva told Devi Parvati one-hundred and eight names, by the means of which Durga or Adi Shakti can be pleased. This is same as given above.
This Sapta Shloki Durga Stotra is in Sanskrit and it is told to Bhagwan Shiva by Durga Mata herself. Shiva asked Durga tell me what your devotees should do to achieve success in their endeavor easily and without any troubles? Durga Mata told him that my devotees may worship me by reciting 7 slokas with faith, devotion and concentration. By doing this they will receive all my blessings and will be successful in there every endeavor. Besides they will receive wealth, health, good memory, knowledge, success, good family life and victory. All their troubles, fear, sorrow and poverty will be removed from their life. Many Durga devotees read Durga Sapta shati on many occasions in a year. However all devotees cant read it since it is very difficult and is of 700 stanzas. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete it. So for such devotees this Sapta Shloki Durga Stotra is an alternate. These 7 shlokas of the stotra are from Durga Sapta Shati only. They can recite this stotra daily with faith, devotion and concentration. The Devnagiri Script is available on following link. http://ioustotra.blogspot.com/2009/02/sapta-shloki-durga-stotra.html
MEANING Thou art the all auspicious Shiva (Shakti aspect), the bountiful; I prostrate myself at Thy feet. O Triyambaks (Three eyed one), Gauri (the one with a fair complexion, Parvathi) Naraayani.
I bow before that personification of nectar, who is the everlasting immortal bliss, Who is the luster in the Sushumna, Which is in the six chakras of the body, And who melts the moon and drinks its light. [1]
I sing about that Bhavani, Who sits in the triangle, which shines in the stamen of the great lotus, Who has the luster of crores of rising suns, Who is immensely pretty, And who attracts the entire world by her charm. [2]
Oh, great goddess please keep your feet, Which have jingling bells made of gems tied to it, Which shine in the luster of your wet lac painted feet, And which are worshipped by Vishnu, Brahma and others On my head and bless. [3]
I worship the streak of hair on your belly, Thine shining navel circling to the left, Thine hips dressed in red garments, And your waist adorned with golden tinkling belt, Studded with greatest of jewels. [4]
लसद्वृत्तमुत्तुङ्गमाणिक्यकुम्भोपमश्रीस्तनद्वन्द्वमम्बांबुजाक्षीम् । भजे पूर्णदुग्धाभिरामं तवेदं महाहारदीप्तं सदा प्रस्नुतास्यम् ॥ ५॥
I worship thine twin radiant raised breasts full of milk, Which are round and like the gem studded pot, And which are ever shining with milk, Hey mother who has lotus like eyes. [5]
I worship that Bhavani Who glitters with her arms, Which are as delicate as Sirisa flowers, And which carry arrow, bow, noose and goad, And which shines with bangles and bracelets. [6]
शरत्पूर्णचन्द्रप्रभापूर्णबिम्बा धरस्मेरवक्त्रारविन्दश्रियं ते । सुरत्नावलीहारताटङ्कशोभा भजे सुप्रसन्नामहं श्रीभवानीम् ॥ ७॥
I worship that Bhavani , Who is extremely pleasant, Who shines like the full moon of autumn, Whose lotus like face is adorned with peace, And who shines with gem studded necklace and ear studs. [7]
I praise thee Amba, Who adorns your lotus like face, With musk on the forehead and cheeks, Who has very pretty nostrils, Who has a pretty forehead, Who has well formed beautiful lips. And who is capable of blessing with a side long glance. [8]
चलत्कुण्डलां ते भ्रमद्भृङ्गवृन्दां घनस्निग्धधम्मिल्लभूषोज्ज्वलन्तीम् । स्फुरन्मौलिमाणिक्यमध्येन्दुरेखा विलासोल्लसद्दिव्यमूर्धानमीडे ॥ ९॥
I praise thine head, Which is playfully radiant, Which is adorned by the crescent moon, Which is decorated by the line of gems, In whose dense hair the swarm of bees, Enter swirl and play, And which is decorated, By densely woven white jasmine flowers. [9]
स्फुरत्वम्ब बिम्बस्य मे हृत्सरोजे सदा वाङ्मयं सर्वतेजोमयं च । इति श्रीभवानीस्वरूपं तदेवं प्रपञ्चात्परं चातिसूक्ष्मं प्रसन्नम् ॥ १०॥
This form of yours, Oh Bhavani, Which is much above the universe, In its micro form, May please shine in the lotus heart mine, And bless me in your lustrous form, So that I rule over the wealth of words. [10]
I meditate on you, the wife of Shiva, Who is sitting pleasantly on his lap, Surrounded by Shakthis led by lord Ganesha, Who is sitting highly radiant on the chakra raja, And who is Tripura and Rajarajeswari. [11]
I sing about you as a form of blissful knowledge, As one to whom , there is none superior, As you are the sun, moon, fire, water, Ether, earth, fire and the great essence. [12]
गुरुस्त्वं शिवस्त्वं च शक्तिस्त्वमेव त्वमेवासि माता पिताऽसि त्वमेव । त्वमेवासि विद्या त्वमेवासि बुद्धिर्गतिर्मे मतिर्देवि सर्वं त्वमेव ॥ १३॥
Though I know not thine greatness, Wish I to praise you, Oh, Bhavani, Who is the knower of Vedas and Agamas, And who is unreachable through scriptures. So please pardon me for doing this. [13]
श्रुतीनामगम्यं सुवेदागमाद्यैर् महिम्नो न जानाति पारं तवेदम् । स्तुतिं कर्तुमिच्छामि ते त्वं भवानि क्षमस्वेदमम्ब प्रमुग्धः किलाहम् ॥ १४॥
You are my teacher, you are my lord Shiva, You are the Goddess Shakthi, You are my mother, you are my father, You are the knowledge, you are my relations, And so you are my only refuge, my only thought, And everything that I can think of. [14]
Salutations, salutations and salutations, Oh Bhavani, You are my refuge, my boon and form of all mercy, You are greatest among all devas, oh holy one, And so, please protect me from this forest snare of life. [15]
Who ever correctly reads with devotion, This great hymn praising Bhavani from head to toe, Would attain a permanent place of salvation, Which is the essence of Vedas, And also get wealth and the eight occult powers. [16]
भवानी भवानी भवानी त्रिवारम् उदारम् मुदा सर्वदा ये जपन्ति । नशोकम् न मोहम् न पापं न भीति: कदाचित्कथंचित्कुतश्चज्जनानाम् ॥१७॥
