वार्ताली जंभली क्लिन्ना अश्वारूढा सुरेश्वरी । ज्वालामुखी प्रभृतयो नवकोट्यौ महाबलाः
vārtālī jaṃbhalī klinnā aśvārūḍhā sureśvarī | jvālāmukhī prabhṛtayo navakoṭyau mahābalāḥ
Vārtālī, Jaṃbhalī, Klinnā, Aśvārūḍhā, Sureśvarī, Jvālāmukhī et d’autres—au nombre de neuf crores—se dressèrent, toutes d’une puissance immense.

Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A vast assembly of Devī-forms—Vārtālī, Jaṃbhalī, Klinnā, Aśvārūḍhā, Sureśvarī, Jvālāmukhī—emerging like sparks from a central śakti; each with distinct vāhana, weapons, and aura, forming a protective mandala over Kāśī.
The Divine is inexhaustible—able to manifest countless powers and forms to protect cosmic order.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa setting frames the account within Kāśī’s sacred geography, though this verse focuses on Devī’s emanated forms.
None; the verse is descriptive, enumerating forms and emphasizing their vast number and strength.
