context_page_description: This is different from Devisuktam/ Chandipath in Durgāsaptaśatī of Mārkaṃḍeyapurāṇa.
  The Devīsūktam, also called the Aṃbhṛnīsūktam, is the 125th sūkta occurring in the 10th mandala of the Ṛgveda. In the present day, the sūkta is popularly chanted during the worship of the Devī, in the daily rituals of temples, and also in various Vedic sacrificial ceremonies like iṣti, hōma, havana, etc. It is also chanted at the end of Devīmāhātmya.
context_section_description: Since tradition mandates that all the sūktas in the Vedas must specify the Ṛṣi (m.) or Ṛṣikā (fe.) (the sage who envisioned the sūkta), the devatā (deity being invoked), number of verses in it, and the chandah (metre of the verses), the same follows below:
  Ṛṣikā:Vāgāmbhṛṇī; Devatā:  Vāgāmbhṛṇī;  chandah: this sūkta has eight ṛks (verses) of which ṛks 1 & 3-8 are in Tṛṣṭup chandah, and ṛk 2 is in Jagatī chandah.
  This is one of the very few sūktas in the Ṛgveda for which the Ṛṣikā and devatā are one and the same.
