Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
असुरासृग्वसापङ्कचर्चितस्ते करोज्ज्वलः ।
शुभाय खड्गो भवतु चण्डिके त्वां नता वयम् ॥
asurāsṛgvasāpaṅkacarcitaste karojjvalaḥ | śubhāya khaḍgo bhavatu caṇḍike tvāṃ natā vayam ||
ដៃដែលកាន់ដាវរបស់ព្រះអង្គ រុងរឿងភ្លឺថ្លា ត្រូវលាបដោយកខ្វក់នៃឈាម និងខ្លាញ់អសុរា—សូមឲ្យដាវនោះក្លាយជាសុភមង្គល ការពារសេចក្តីសុខរបស់យើង។ ឱ ចណ្ឌិកា យើងខ្ញុំសូមក្រាបបង្គំចំពោះព្រះអង្គ។

A hymn segment within the Purāṇic narrative of Devī’s exploits; it serves devotional instruction rather than the five formal characteristics.
The sword symbolizes discriminative wisdom (viveka) that cuts ignorance; the ‘blood and fat’ imagery points to severing dense, tamasic accretions in the psyche—made auspicious when offered to dharma.
