देवेनाथ स्मृता दुर्गा चामुण्डा भीषणानना । आयाता भीषणाकारा नानायुधविराजिता
devenātha smṛtā durgā cāmuṇḍā bhīṣaṇānanā | āyātā bhīṣaṇākārā nānāyudhavirājitā
عندئذٍ تذكّر الإله دورغا—تشاموندا ذات الوجه المهيب. فجاءت في هيئة مرعبة، متلألئةً بشتى أنواع الأسلحة.

Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The deity remembers Durgā; Cāmuṇḍā appears instantly—dreadful-faced, terrifying, yet radiant—covered in ornaments and bearing many weapons that gleam like lightning.
When dharma is threatened, divine protection manifests through Śakti—courage and safeguarding power arise in response to sincere invocation.
No distinct tīrtha is named; the verse occurs within the Revā-khaṇḍa’s broader sacred landscape.
An implicit devotional principle appears: smaraṇa (remembrance/invocation) of the Goddess in times of संकट (crisis).
