Adhyaya 88 — The Manifestation of the Matrikas and the Slaying of Raktabija
हंसयुक्तविमानाग्रे साक्षसूत्रकमण्डलुः ।
आयाता ब्रह्मणः शक्तिर्ब्रह्माणी साभिधीयते ॥
haṃsayuktavimānāgre sākṣasūtrakamaṇḍaluḥ |
āyātā brahmaṇaḥ śaktir brahmāṇī sābhidhīyate ||
ഹംസയുക്തമായ ദിവ്യരഥത്തിന്റെ മുൻഭാഗത്ത്, ജപമാലയും കമണ്ഡലുവും ധരിച്ച ബ്രഹ്മശക്തി എത്തി; അവൾ ബ്രാഹ്മണീ എന്നു പ്രസിദ്ധയാണ്।

Brahmāṇī’s emblems (rosary, water-pot) connect power with tapas, discipline, and purity—suggesting that true creative authority is grounded in restraint and sacred order, not mere force.
Iconographic-theological detail within Vaṃśānucarita narrative: it supports ritual memory and transmission of sacred forms used in worship and recitation traditions.
Swans symbolize viveka (discernment) in later interpretive traditions; the rosary signifies cyclic time and mantra, and the kamaṇḍalu signifies the conserved essence—creative Shakti as disciplined, clarified intelligence.
