देवेनाथ स्मृता दुर्गा चामुण्डा भीषणानना । आयाता भीषणाकारा नानायुधविराजिता
devenātha smṛtā durgā cāmuṇḍā bhīṣaṇānanā | āyātā bhīṣaṇākārā nānāyudhavirājitā
Da gedachte der Gott an Durgā — an Chamūṇḍā mit schrecklichem Antlitz. Sie kam herbei, furchterregend an Gestalt, erglänzend in mancherlei Waffen.

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).
