Vamana Purana — Manifestation of Katyayani, Shloka 6
The Manifestation of Katyayani (Durga) and the Humbling of the Vindhya by Agastya
ततो ऽनुकोपान्मधुसूदनस्य सशङ्करस्यापि पितामहस्य तथैव शक्रादिषु दैवतेषु महर्द्धि तेजो वदनाद् विनिःसुतम्
tato 'nukopānmadhusūdanasya saśaṅkarasyāpi pitāmahasya tathaiva śakrādiṣu daivateṣu maharddhi tejo vadanād viniḥsutam
Dann, aus dem gütigen Entschluss Madhusūdanas (Viṣṇu) und ebenso aus dem Śaṅkaras und des Pitāmaha (Brahmā), und gleicherweise unter den Gottheiten, beginnend mit Śakra (Indra), strömte aus ihren Mündern ein überaus machtvoller Glanz hervor.

FAQs
When cosmic disorder requires correction, the tradition depicts a coordinated, non-competitive divine response: the devas do not act from rivalry but from anukampā/anugraha (benevolence), pooling their capacities for loka-saṃgraha (the welfare and stability of the world).
This aligns most closely with Sarga (primary manifestation/emanation), specifically a localized emanation of tejas leading toward the appearance of a devī (a śakti-form) rather than genealogical Vaṃśa material.
Tejas emerging ‘from the mouth’ symbolizes śabda/saṅkalpa (authoritative will and utterance) becoming creative force. The explicit inclusion of Viṣṇu and Śiva together underscores the Purāṇa’s harmonizing theology: distinct deities participate in a single cosmic intention.
