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.
