Adhyaya 85 — The Gods’ Hymn to the Goddess and the Emergence of Kaushiki; Shumbha Sends His Envoy
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु वृत्तिरूपेण संस्थिता ।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu vṛttirūpeṇa saṃsthitā / namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ
যে দেবী সকল জীবের মধ্যে বৃত্তি/আচরণরূপে প্রতিষ্ঠিতা, তাঁকে নমস্কার, তাঁকে নমস্কার, তাঁকে নমস্কার; পুনঃপুনঃ নমস্কার।

All functional capacities—how beings act and operate—are traced to Devī; this encourages humility about one’s powers and responsibility for one’s conduct.
Devotional-psychological teaching within the Purāṇa’s hymnody; not a genealogical/cosmic-chronological segment.
If read in a yogic sense, ‘vṛtti’ points to the movements of mind; acknowledging Devī as vṛtti implies She is both the dynamism of cognition and the power by which it can be mastered and transcended.
