Virtues are not merely personal traits but divine endowments; cultivating peace, patience, contentment, and moral restraint is a mode of honoring Devī within oneself and society.
Closest to Vaṁśānucarita in the broad sense of sustaining righteous order (dharma) across human life; presented as theological praise rather than lineage-history.
By locating Devī as buddhi and hrī, the stuti internalizes worship: the ‘temple’ is the psyche, and spiritual growth is refinement of inner śaktis.
