Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
विद्याः समास्तास्तव देवि भेदाः स्त्रियः समास्ताः सकला जगत्सु ।
त्वयैकया पूरितमम्बयैतत्का ते स्तुतिः स्तव्यपरा परोक्तिः ॥
vidyāḥ samastās tava devi bhedāḥ striyaḥ samastāḥ sakalā jagatsu | tvayaikayā pūritam ambayaitat kā te stutiḥ stavyaparā paroktiḥ ||
Toutes les branches du savoir sont tes formes, ô Déesse ; et toutes les femmes, dans tous les mondes, sont aussi tes formes. Par toi seule, ô Mère, cet univers tout entier est pénétré et enveloppé. Quelle louange pourrait-il y avoir pour toi—quels mots pourraient célébrer dignement Celle qui est digne de louange ?
