Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
तत्र मात्रात्रयं सर्वमस्ति यद्देवि नास्ति च ।
त्रयो लोकास्त्रयो वेदास्त्रैविद्यं पावकत्रयम् ॥
tatra mātrā-trayaṃ sarvam asti yad devi nāsti ca | trayo lokās trayo vedās traividyaṃ pāvaka-trayam ||
Là, dans la triade des mātrās (A-U-M) de Om, se trouve tout ce qui existe—et même ce qui n’existe pas (au sens de l’inmanifesté). Trois sont les mondes, trois les Veda, la triple connaissance sacrée et les trois feux.

FAQs
The verse integrates mantra, cosmos, and ritual: Om (and thus Devi) is the unifying principle behind Vedic learning and household/śrauta practice (the three fires), implying that right knowledge and right ritual both culminate in the Goddess.
Touches 'Dharma' indirectly (through Vedic triad and sacred fires), though within the Devi Mahatmyam it primarily serves as a metaphysical identification rather than prescriptive ritual instruction.
‘All that is and is not’ suggests Om spans manifest and unmanifest; the three mātrās map reality into a meditative schema, where triads in cosmos and ritual are contemplated as expressions of one mantra-body of Devi.
