Durga Saptshati is a part of Markandeya Brahmpuran. Durga saptshati tells the story of a king who lost his kingdom and a businessman who was cheated by his own family.
They both reach Medha muni's ashram and ask him the reason for the Moha they still had for their family and kingdom.
Medha muni then tells about the story of Mata Bhagwati how she defeated the demons and how she keeps all the world under illusion
Durga Saptshati has so many powerful Mantras that work well even in Kaliyuga. Any one can see the power of Durga Sapshati.
Hindus read Durga Saptshati during Navratras.
Jai Mata di

Durga Saptashati
The Devisukta of the Rig Veda
Explanations based upon the writings of
Shree Devadatta Kali
Devisukta is a hymn of eight verses found in the most ancient
Hindu sacred text, the Rig Veda (in the 10th mandala).
The Devisukta (RV 10.125) declares that the Goddess is the power expressed through all the gods, that they are united in her who shines with consciousness, that her presence is all-pervading, that she supports all of creation, that she is the source of righteousness and the revealer of truth, that she is the source of all worlds, yet that she shines transcendent beyond them. Among Shaktas this Vedic hymn is held in high esteem and is considered to be the source from which the entire Chandi sprang. Later, the Chandi itself was elaborated upon in the Puranas and Tantras.
The Chandi goes by two other names. The most common and widely recognized is Devimahatmya [The Glory of the Goddess]. The other is Sri Durga Saptashati [Seven Hundred Verses to Sri Durga].

It is the verses in 700 lines narrating the exploits of Durga against demons like Sumba, Nisumba etc who had conquered the devas and persecuted them and even Lord Vishnu and other gods could not stop them, by virtue of the boons they had got from the God. Narayanee, who got all the spirit of the existing gods, epitomised in the female, took to war against these demons and killed them. She took various ferocious form, for killing these demons and protecting her children. The Devi Mahatmyam, which is the name of the Durga Saptasati, is a great verse form, being chanted by the devotees of Devi, along with the Bija Mantram--Om Aim Hreem Kleem, Chamundayai Vichae. It is capable of creating powerful vibration.

Durga Saptshati is extract from Rig veda and Devi bhagwat.
Like Mahabharat, it tells about the war between demons and Shakti....in which finally the demons are slayed and devas freed.
Like Mahabharata, Durga saptshati is in fact about the war of evil and good going on in our minds.
Chamunda has asked a beautiful question on this

It's Vegemite on bran muffins.
Actually, it seems to be some sort of prayer in Sanskrit. http://www.worldspiritguide.com/2007/03/practical-spirituality-of-yourself-near.html
