Vyasaraja and Jayatirtha quote
Famous and renowned Indologist named Surendranath Das Gupta In the Preface to the fourth volume of "History of Indian Philosophy", page no. 8 says:

"In my opinion, Jayatirtha and Vyāsatirtha present the highest dialectical skill in Indian thought. There is a general belief among many that the monism of Sankara presents the final phase of Indian thought. But the readers of the present volume who will be introduced to the philosophy of Jayatirtha and particularly of Vyasatirtha would realize the strength and uncompromising impressiveness of the Dualistic position. The logical skill and depth of acute dialectic thinking shown by Vyasatirtha stands almost unrivalled in the whole range of Indian thought."

Durga - a form of Lakshmi
Authors Chitralekha Singh and Prem Nath says, "Narada Purana describes the powerful forms of Lakshmi as Durga, Mahakali, Bhadrakali, Chandi, Maheshwari, Lakshmi, Vaishnavi and Andreye". In Garuda Purana, Lakshmi is considered as Prakriti (Mahalakshmi) and is identified with three form — Sri, Bhu and Durga. In the Lakshmi Tantra and Lakshmi Sahasranama of Skanda Purana, Lakshmi is given the status of the primordial goddess and Durga as one of the names of Lakshmi. The texts also describes that she got this name after killing the demon Durgamasura.

Mukhya Prana Vayu

 * Gayatri: The Profound Prayer - Quote: Vayu is accorded the status of a deva, an important God in the ancient literature. Lord Hanuman, who is considered to be one of the avatars of Vayudeva, is described as Mukhyaprana.



Durga
In South India, there are temples where Durga is worshipped along with Narasimha such as "Durga Narasimha Temple" in Devarayanadurga which was built by Mysore Kings on the hilltop.

Authors Edwin Bryant and Maria Ekstrand says, "The Lakshmi Tantra displays many Sakta elements, yet is a Pancharatra text due to the association of Lakshmi with Vishnu as his Shakti. Lakshmi identifies herself as the "Mother of all Sounds", and explains her presence in syllable Om. Author Sir John Woodroffe says, "The Mārkandeya Purāna and the Lakshmi Tantra in the Pancarātra says: “In this place, I shall kill a great Daitya (Titan) named Durgama. Hence my name shall be Durgā". Author Hillary Rodrigues says, "In Lakshmi Tantra, Lakshmi says I am called Durga, as I am difficult to reach, and also because I save my devotee". Author van der Plas says, "In the Lakshmi Tantra, the name Mahamaya is connected with the third or destructive of the Goddess' three partial functions, while in her supreme form she is identified with Laksmi".

Author Vittorio Roveda says, In Lakshmi Tantra not only glorifies Lakshmi as the shakti of Vishnu-Narayana, but also women in general as beings created in the cherished form of Lakshmi, and it advocates their worship. Lakshmi Tantra further glorifies Lakshmi as taking three great forms Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati. Author C. Mackenzie Brown says, The manifestation of triguna Mahā-Lakṣmī into the tamasi Mahā-Kālī and the sattviki Mahā-Sarasvatī (or Mahavidya) is told in Lakshmi Tantra. The account of three main demon-slaying incarnations of the Devi correlated with Maha-Devis appears in Lakshmi Tantra.

 In the beginning, I the holy Goddess, (manifested myself) as the goddess called Mahalakshmi. Next, I became two by assuming the form of Kṛṣṇa (Mahakali) and Brahmi (Mahasarasati). These are my three supreme forms as classified by the three gunas. O Sakra, during the reign of Svambhuva (Manu), for the benefit of all the worlds, I, Mahalakshmi, appeared as Mahisamardini. The elements of my sakti inherent in each god combined to constitute my dazzling beautiful form (of Mahisamardini). O king of gods, the saktis belonging to the special weapons of each god turned into my weapons without undergoing a change of form. Worshipped by the gods I, in that form (Mahisamardini), instantaneously slew the the demon Mahisa. He who praises meditates or bow down to so powerful a goddess, is rewarded with ever lasting supremacy. – Lakshmi Tantra, Pancharatra text,
