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

Compassion is elevated to a divine principle; ethical life is not only rule-based but rooted in recognizing Devī within others, naturally yielding kindness and restraint from harm.
A devotional-ethical affirmation within the Purāṇa; indirectly sustains dharma rather than enumerating cosmic or dynastic histories.
Dayā is the softening śakti that dissolves egoic hardness; in inner practice it is linked to purification (citta-śuddhi), making the mind fit for higher knowledge.
