Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
देवि प्रसीद परिपालय नोऽपरिभीतेर्नित्यं यथासुरवधादधुनैव सद्यः ।
पापानि सर्वजगतां प्रशमं नयाशु उत्पातपाकजनितांश्च महोपसर्गान् ॥
devi prasīda paripālaya no 'paribhīter nityaṃ yathāsuravadhād adhunāiva sadyaḥ /
pāpāni sarvajagatāṃ praśamaṃ nayāśu utpātapākajanitāṃś ca mahopasargān
હે દેવી, પ્રસન્ન થા; જેમ તું અસુરવધ કરીને રક્ષા કરી, તેમ અમને સદા ભયથી બચાવ—હમણાં જ, તત્ક્ષણે. શીઘ્રે સર્વ લોકોના પાપોને શાંત કર, અને અશુભ નિમિત્તોના પરિપાકથી ઉત્પન્ન મહાવિપત્તિઓને પણ શમાવ।

FAQs
The verse links cosmic disorder (utpāta) and suffering (upasarga) with moral causality (pāpa, karmic ‘ripening’). Prayer is not escapism: it seeks restoration of order (śānti) for all beings, not merely private gain.
It belongs to Upākhyāna (episode) supporting dharma: the gods’ plea for śānti after adharma’s defeat. It is not a direct Manvantara/Vaṃśa listing, but serves the Purāṇic didactic function.
‘Utpāta-pāka’ suggests that disturbances manifest when latent karmic conditions mature; Devi is invoked as the higher integrative power that can transmute or neutralize these conditions, restoring harmony in the subtle and gross worlds.
