Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
रोगानशेषानपहंसि तुष्टा रुष्टा तु कामान्सकलानभीष्टान् ।
त्वामाश्रितानां न विपन्नराणां त्वामाश्रिता ह्याश्रयतां प्रयान्ति ॥
rogānaśeṣānapahaṃsi tuṣṭā ruṣṭā tu kāmān sakalānabhīṣṭān | tvāmāśritānāṃ na vipannarāṇāṃ tvāmāśritā hyāśrayatāṃ prayānti ||
तू प्रसन्न झालीस की सर्व रोग हरतेस; क्रुद्ध झालीस की सर्व इच्छित साध्यांचा नाश करतेस. जे तुझ्या शरण येतात ते नष्ट होत नाहीत; उलट तुझ्या शरणागतच इतरांसाठीही आश्रय होतात।

Devotion is not transactional: the same Devī who grants well-being also disciplines egoic desire. True refuge yields stability, and the devotee’s maturation turns them into support for others.
This is theological instruction embedded in the Devī-ākhyāna; it supports dharma (proper aims and surrender) rather than describing sarga/manvantara/vaṃśa.
‘Tuṣṭā/ruṣṭā’ can be read as inner states: when consciousness aligns with Śakti, ailments dissolve; when it resists dharma, one’s projects collapse—driving the aspirant toward genuine surrender and service.
