How to chant Durga Saptashloki Mantras for fulfillment of specific wishes?
A Samput recitation frames each of the Durga Saptashloki's seven mantras between repetitions of a mantra chosen for a specific wish, letting those short on time fulfil a specific desire without reciting the full Saptashati.
Does performing a ritual or sacrifice (Bali) to destroy an enemy attract a karmic flaw (Dosha)?
Yes — whether an enemy is destroyed through a sacrificial offering, a targeted mantra resolve, or any other ritual means, it attracts a karmic flaw, since even Lord Ramachandra and Devraj Indra had to visit Mahakali to resolve the karmic consequences of killing enemies.
How should Durga Saptashati be recited if one can't pronounce Sanskrit accurately?
Practice and study the text rather than undertaking a formal, vowed (Sankalpita) recitation; if worshipping purely through devotion, recite in one's native language instead of mispronouncing the Sanskrit.
