Adhyaya 88 — The Manifestation of the Matrikas and the Slaying of Raktabija
वैष्णवी समरे चैनं चक्रेणाभिजघान ह ।
गदया दाडयामास ऐन्द्री तमसुरेश्वरम् ॥
vaiṣṇavī samare cainaṃ cakreṇābhijaghāna ha / gadayā dāḍayāmāsa aindrī tam asureśvaram
അപ്പോൾ യുദ്ധത്തിൽ വൈഷ്ണവീ അവനെ തന്റെ ചക്രംകൊണ്ട് പ്രഹരിച്ചു; ഐന്ദ്രി ആ അസുരാധിപനെ ഗദകൊണ്ട് അടിച്ചു തകർത്തു।

Different divine faculties act together: discernment (cakra—order/wholeness) and force (gadā—impact) combine, showing that complex evil requires multi-pronged response.
A theological battle-episode; pañcalakṣaṇa classification is secondary here.
Cakra implies the restoring of cosmic rhythm; gadā implies grounding power—together indicating alignment (order) plus capacity (energy) in sādhana.
