Which of the four Saptashati hymns to adopt, by the devotee's ishta
The speaker says one of the four stutis should be taken into one's life, and matches them to the devotee: a devotee of Mahakali should do the Ratri Suktam; a devotee of Bhagavati Mahasaraswati the Jai Durga Stuti of the eleventh chapter; an exclusive upasaka of Mahalakshmi the Shakradi Stuti, the 27 shlokas of the fourth chapter; and one who is a devotee of any form of Bhagavati, wants the grace of all her forms and sees his Mother, his Durga, his Kali in every shakti — the fiercest kind of upasaka — should never leave the Tantrokta Devisuktam. He says these four have the power to change life, each has its own independent prayoga, and doing them now means that when, by the Devi's grace, a learned Guru who makes such things happen appears in life, they will be of great use.
