Śatrughna’s Entry into Ahicchatrā
Temptation of Sumada and the Goddess’s Boon
यूयं तु ममचित्तस्था जगन्मातृस्वरूपकाः । मया संचिंत्यते या हि सापि त्वद्रूपिणी मता
yūyaṃ tu mamacittasthā jaganmātṛsvarūpakāḥ | mayā saṃciṃtyate yā hi sāpi tvadrūpiṇī matā
എന്നാൽ നിങ്ങൾ എന്റെ ചിത്തത്തിൽ വസിച്ച് ജഗന്മാതാവിന്റെ സ്വരൂപമാണ്. ഞാൻ എന്തിനെ ധ്യാനിച്ചാലും, അതും നിങ്ങളുടെ രൂപമാണെന്നു കരുതപ്പെടുന്നു.
Uncertain (context needed from surrounding verses; likely a male deity or sage addressing a group of goddesses/śaktis as Jagad-mātṛ)
Concept: The divine feminine is recognized as immanent in consciousness; forms encountered outwardly mirror inner contemplation.
Application: Treat thoughts and perceptions as sacred mirrors: what you dwell on shapes what ‘appears’ in life; cultivate contemplations that support devotion and virtue.

FAQs
It teaches a Shakti-centered vision: the addressed divine feminine powers are present within the speaker’s inner awareness, and any form contemplated is understood to be their very manifestation.
It frames contemplation (saṃcintana) as a way of encountering the Goddess: whatever form arises in meditation is not separate, but an expression of the Jagad-mātṛ.
Seeing the Mother of the universe in all forms encourages reverence, humility, and non-harming—since the divine is recognized as present in every manifestation one encounters.
