Adhyaya 86 — Dhumralocana’s Mission and His Ashing by the Goddess; Shumbha Sends Chanda and Munda
विच्छिन्नबाहुशिरसः सृतास्तेन तथापरे ।
पपौ च रुधिरं कोष्ठादन्येषां धुतकेसरः ॥
vicchinnabāhuśirasaḥ sṛtās tena tathāpare /
papau ca rudhiraṃ koṣṭhād anyeṣāṃ dhutakesaraḥ
इतर काही, ज्यांचे बाहू व मस्तके छिन्न झाले होते, त्याच्यापासून पळून गेले; आणि केसर हलवणाऱ्या सिंहाने इतरांच्या वक्षातील रक्त पिले।

The ‘flight’ of the asuras indicates that unrighteousness ultimately cannot stand before truth-power; it collapses into fear and dispersal when confronted by uncompromising protection.
Still within the Devi-ākhyāna (episode). It is exemplary narrative rather than a structural pancalakṣaṇa passage.
Blood-drinking imagery can signify reclaiming and transmuting dissipated life-force (vital energy) from destructive patterns back into protective strength under Devī’s aegis.
