Varaha Purana 28.37: Adhyaya 28, Shloka 37
The Manifestation of Māyā as Durgā/Kātyāyanī and the Slaying of Vaitrāsura
नवम्यां च सदा पूज्या इयं देवी समाधिना । वरदा सर्वलोकानां भविष्यति न संशयः ॥ २८.३७ ॥
navamyāṃ ca sadā pūjyā iyaṃ devī samādhinā | varadā sarvalokānāṃ bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ || 28.37 ||
Auch am Navamī, dem neunten Mondtag, soll diese Göttin stets in gesammelt-konzentriertem Samādhi verehrt werden; sie wird zur Spenderin von Gaben für alle Welten—ohne Zweifel.
