While there are various sources which shed light on the earliest mentions of Vaishno Devi in Hindu history, one of the most significant mention is found in the epic Mahabharata. It is said that Shri Krishna told Arjuna to meditate upon Vaishno Devi before participating in the battle.

Arjuna meditated upon the Devi and thereafter bowed his head chanting

          “ Jambookatak Chityaishu Nityam Sannihitalaye”
