Adhyaya 82 — The Rise of Mahishasura and the Manifestation of the Goddess from the Gods’ Tejas
विश्वकर्मा ददौ तस्यै परशुञ्चातिनिर्मलम् ।
अस्त्राण्यनेकरूपाणि तथाभेद्यं च दंशनम् ॥
viśvakarmā dadau tasyai paraśuñ cātinirmalam | astrāṇy anekarūpāṇi tathābhedyaṃ ca daṃśanam ||
ヴィシュヴァカルマンは、至上に清浄なる斧を彼女に授け、さまざまな形の武器を与え、さらに貫くことのできぬ胸甲をも授けた。

Power is not mere aggression: the Goddess receives both offensive capacity (weapons) and defensive integrity (impenetrable armor), reflecting dharmic action that is courageous yet protected by right order.
Not a genealogical or manvantara datum; it is dharma-restorative narrative (carita) illustrating the cosmos aligning resources to defeat adharma.
Viśvakarman symbolizes the intelligence that ‘builds’ reality. Weapons of many forms indicate upāyas (skillful means) suited to varied inner obstacles; the ‘abhedya’ armor suggests inviolable inner resolve.
