Godess Shivaduti -देवी शिवदूती ~

देवी  शिवदूती ☆ Śivadūtī  - Godess Shivaduti -
☆ देवी शिवदूती परदेवते नमोस्तुते. अनुपल्लवि. देव देव पुजितपदे दिव्य रत्नलन्क्र्ते सेवक जन तप हरेदि मणि संगीत सारे. चरणं. पर तत्वमिके शिवे परब्रःमस्व रूपे पवने निज भक्त पालिनी पामर- जन दूरे परम दया रस लहरी पराशक्ति परमेश्वरी ☆  

 Shivaduti is a powerful manifestation of Mother Goddess Shakti. Shivaduti means "one who has Shiva as her messenger". Goddess Shivaduti made her appearance in the battle against demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. She symbolically represents the unfathomable power of Mother Goddess Shakti.
As in Devi Mahatmya, in the battle against the forces of Shumbha and Nishumbha, Mother Goddess took the manifestation of the Saptamatrikas. They were Shaktis of the male gods. After this appeared Shivaduti, the Shakti of Mother Goddess. This form is not associated with any male form.
Devi Mahatmya states that she appeared from the body of Mother Goddess in the most gruesome form – yelping like a hundred jackals. She then asked Lord Shiva to carry the message to Shumbha and Nishumbha that if they desire to battle against her out of arrogance and false belief in their strength, then they and their forces be ready to be devoured by her jackals.
It must be noted here that Goddess Shivaduti is a symbolic representation of what form Goddess Shakti can take to put down Adharma.

On the seventh cycle of waxing Moon
I meditate on Goddess Sri Lalita, who
Assumes the form of Shivaduti!
~*~
I bow to Shivaduti, the Lady of divine light
Who made the Lord, Her messenger in a fight
Who is brilliant like the summer Sun at noon
Whose crown is set with bright jewels nine
Who has arms eight and has lovely eyes three
Who holds all weapons and a bowl of jewels,
Who shines in garments red and whose smile
Is sweeter than nectar, and the destroyer of
Immoral conduct; who is always engaged
In granting boons to Her devotees true,
Whose laughter is like peals of thunder
Whose words are the miracles wonder,
Who is always eulogized by sages;
May She remove all mishaps in life
May She grant the jewels beautiful
To me victory and joyous life! 

शिवधुती । औवार्तमुखी शुष्कता शुष्ककाया विशेषता । बहुबाहुयुता देवी भुजगै: परिवेष्टिता ।। कपालमालिनी भीमा तथा खट्टाङ्गधारिपरी । शिवदूती तु कर्तव्या मृगालवदना शुभा 11 आलीढासनसंस्वाना तथा रजिश्वतुर्तजा । । 

Another story say:
On the dark 14th day, the terrifying Kala bhairava wanted a sacrifice. The 8 yoginis, who had emanated from the 8 matrikas realizing that they would reign supreme if the sacrifice is made, decided to do so. They extracted ambika from the cave within sadashiva, where she resides and made Uma herself the sacrificial pashu for the bhairava.
Shiva realized that his heart had become empty without Parvati, and they say Shiva without shakti is but a shava (corpse)! Vishnu was observing what had come to pass and acted rapidly. From Vishnu emanated the terrible Samkarshana (Shri Samkarshana is the second expansion of the Origin Supreme). From him emerged the emanation of Narayana known as Mayavamana (little illusion). He had eight arms and was of yellow complexion. He wore a red robe and a golden headgear. He held the halayudha, Danda, Sunanda and other terrible weapons. From Garuda emanated a Ram, which became the vahana of Mayavamana. He was of the form of a youth. His Maya Shakti manifested as 4 beautiful space-clad (naked) goddesses, Karpuri, Kasturi, Kuñkumi and Chandani, who were Mahamohinis (grand illusions), from whose delusion no one was spared. From the right of Vishnu the manifestation pertaining to the great Anushtubh mantra (of the avyakta), Narasimha emerged with a loud roar. Mayavamana and his retinue and Narasimha rushed at the yoginis and challenged them to a fight. They destroyed the mighty weapons of the yoginis with their astras, but their bodies were impregnable to strikes with any weapon. At this point they generated a terrifying goddess Shivaduti, who devoured the yoginis and asked shiva to remember his true nature. As soon as shiva thought of his true self ever-conjoint with the hidden shakti, from Mayavamana emerged another terrifying goddess known as Kalasamkarshani, who then retrieved Parvati from the yoginis and restored her to Sadashiva. Thus, Kalasamkarshani and Shivaduti became the guardians of Parvati. Parvati in honour of Narayana's serviced wore the images of Mayavamana and Narasimha as your earrings. ~*~
