Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
विश्वेश्वरि त्वं परिपासि विश्वं विश्वात्मिका धारयसिति विश्वम् ।
विश्वेशवन्द्या भवती भवन्ति विश्वाश्रया ये त्वयि भक्तिनम्राः ॥
viśveśvari tvaṃ paripāsi viśvaṃ viśvātmikā dhārayasīti viśvam /
viśveśavandyā bhavatī bhavanti viśvāśrayā ye tvayi bhaktinamrāḥ
હે જગદીશ્વરી, તું જગતનું રક્ષણ કરે છે; સર્વની આત્મસ્વરૂપા બની જગતને ધારણ કરે છે. જગદીશ્વર પણ તારી પૂજા કરે છે; જે ભક્તિથી તને નમે છે, તેઓ જગત માટે આશ્રય બને છે।

Calling Devi ‘Viśvātmikā’ implies the identity of cosmic power and consciousness: the universe is not separate from the Divine. ‘Viśveśa-vandyā’ encodes supremacy of Śakti even over Īśvara in the Shākta metaphysic.
