Durga (Skt. Durgā, Tib. དཀའ་བཟློག་མ་, Wyl. dka' bzlog ma)— a popular goddess in the Indian pantheon. Her name can be glossed as "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", and Monier Williams translates the name as "difficult of access or approach", "impassable" or "unattainable".

In some Tibetan texts related to Kurukulla she is Umadevi, the consort of Mahadeva.
