'The Story of Chandi (2)'[1]), is the 5th chapter of the Dasam Granth, whose authorship is generally attributed to Guru Gobind Singh.

[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.

It has eight cantos, contains 262 couplets and quatrains,[6][7] mostly employing Bhujang Prayat and Rasaval measures (chhands), divided into 8 chapters.

According to Max Arthur Macauliffe, the composition was written by bards in who were employed by Guru Gobind Singh and translated the Durga Saptashati.

[4] It differs from Chandi Charitar Ukti Bilas in that it does not reference the chapters within the Markandeya Purana, but still tells the same story.
