The mother Siddhidatri is competent enough to give all Siddhis to the sadhakas and her devotees. According to Devi Purana Lord Siva acquired these powers only by the grace of this goddess. Only due to her grace Lord Siva became Ardhanariswara.
The mother Siddhidatri is four-armed. Her vehicle is the lion. She is seated on a lotus flower. She holds a Chakra in her right lower hand and a mace in the upper. In the left lower hand there is a conch and in her upper left hand a lotus flower. On the ninth day of Navaratri Puja she is worshipped. This day, offering worship in a prescribed manner and with full faith, the Sadhaka acquires all Siddhis. There remains nothing unattainable in the universe. He develops competency to conquer the whole universe.
It is the duty of every person to always try to propitiate mother Siddhidatri and earn her favor. By her grace only a devotee crosses the ocean of miseries and remains quite untainted; enjoying all worldly pleasures, he attains Moksa in the end.
Among the nine Durgas, Siddhidatri is the last. After having worshipped the eight Durgas in an appropriate manner, on the ninth day, devotees undertake her worship. After completing mother Siddhidatri's worship the devotees and strivers get their desires fulfilled - mundane or otherworldly- but there remains no such desire in a favorite devotee of Siddhidatri which is unfulfilled. Such a devotee transcends all material desires and necessities. Spiritually he moves in the divine abode of the Devi and always drinks the nectar of her favor. He becomes completely devoid of lust and enjoyment. The absolute nearness of the goddess becomes the only aim of his actions. After acquiring this position there remains nothing for him to require.
