Chandi Charitar II or Chandi Charitar Duja or Ath Chandi Charitar Likhyate (Punjabi: ਚੰਡੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਦੂਜਾ, lit. 'The Story of Chandi (2)'[1]), is the 5th chapter of the Dasam Granth, whose authorship is generally attributed to Guru Gobind Singh.[2][3] The plot of the text is based on the Markandeya Purana,[4] much like the previous Chandi Charitar I.[5]
A retelling of the story of the Hindu goddess, Durga again in the form of Chandi; it again glorifies the feminine with her fighting the war between good and evil, and in this section she slays the buffalo-demon Mahisha, all his associates and supporters thus bringing an end to the demonic violence and war.
