Shumbha and Nishumbha were very powerful demons. These two brothers were conquerors of Three Worlds by Brhma’s boon. Although Brhama’s boon had granted the brothers protection from human being and demon, no such protection existed against Goddess. Shumbha –Nishumbha started torturing in heaven and on request of Brahma Bishnu Maheswar Goddess Durga transformed herself into one of the forms of Goddess Kali named Chamunda and killed Shumbha Nishumbha.
