Adhyaya 82 — The Rise of Mahishasura and the Manifestation of the Goddess from the Gods’ Tejas
अन्येषाञ्चैव देवानां शक्रादीनां शरीरतः । निर्गतं सुमहत्तेजस्तच्चैक्यं समगच्छत ॥
anyeṣāñ caiva devānāṃ śakrādīnāṃ śarīrataḥ / nirgataṃ sumahat tejas tac caikyaṃ samagacchata
शक्र (इंद्र) इत्यादी अन्य देवांच्या देहांतूनही अत्यंत महान तेज प्रकट झाले; ते सर्व एकत्र येऊन एका रूपात विलीन झाले।
The verse models cooperation: fragmented strengths become effective when unified toward a dharmic goal.
Carita; it also hints at a theological ‘synthesis’ characteristic of Purāṇic devotion—many deities’ powers are expressions of one Śakti.
The convergence into one symbolizes integration of scattered energies in the practitioner—when faculties stop competing and align, a higher ‘form’ of power manifests.
