He underwent long austerities and penance in order to receive the grace of the Mother Goddess. He wished to have a daughter in the form of a goddess.
According to his wish and desire the Mother Goddess granted his request. His daughter was the Mother Durga reborn. As she was born in Katyayan's house, she was called Katyayani.
Goddess Katyayani rides on the magnificent lion and depicted with four hands. Goddess Katyayani carries lotus flower and sword in her left hands and keeps her right hands in Abhaya and Varada Mudras.
It is said that in this form Mahishasura was killed. This was form that created by the devas, who was eventually born in Katyayan's house and who came and killed Mahishasura.
