Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
भूयश्च शतवार्षिक्यामनावृष्ट्यामनम्भसि ।
मुनिभिः संस्तुता भूमौ संभविश्याम्ययोनिजा ॥
bhūyaś ca śatavārṣikyām anāvṛṣṭyām anambhasi | munibhiḥ saṃstutā bhūmau saṃbhaviṣyāmy ayonijā ||
ಮತ್ತೆ ನೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಬರ ಬಂದಾಗ—ಮಳೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ನೀರು ಇಲ್ಲದಾಗ—ಋಷಿಗಳು ಸ್ತುತಿಸುವ ನಾನು ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಯೋನಿಜಾ (ಗರ್ಭಜನ್ಮವಲ್ಲದವಳು) ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಾದುರ್ಭವಿಸುವೆನು।

In extreme scarcity, Devī is portrayed as the restoring principle of life (water/food). Ethically, it underlines communal survival through sacred remembrance and the protection of dharma embodied by sages and right conduct.
This is narrative-carita with a purāṇic ‘future-occurrence’ motif; it is not a manvantara list but a prophetic extension of Devī’s līlā within the carita stream.
A ‘hundred-year drought’ can read as a symbol of prolonged inner aridity (loss of rasa). Devī’s ayonijā manifestation indicates awakening that is not produced by ordinary causality but by grace responding to sustained invocation.
