Adhyaya 92 — Devi’s Assurance of Protection and the Fruits of Reciting the Devi Mahatmyam
श्रुत्वा ममैतन्माहात्म्यं तथोत्पत्तीः पृथक् शुभाः ।
पराक्रमं च युद्धेषु जायते निर्भयः पुमान् ॥
śrutvā mamaitanmāhātmyaṃ tathotpattīḥ pṛthak śubhāḥ / parākramaṃ ca yuddheṣu jāyate nirbhayaḥ pumān
എന്റെ ഈ മാഹാത്മ്യം ശ്രവിക്കുകയും, ദേവിയുടെ പ്രാദുർഭാവങ്ങളുടെ മംഗളകഥകൾ വേർതിരിച്ച് കേൾക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ, മനുഷ്യൻ യുദ്ധങ്ങളിൽ വീര്യം നേടുകയും നിർഭയനാകുകയും ചെയ്യും.
