Adhyaya 92 — Devi’s Assurance of Protection and the Fruits of Reciting the Devi Mahatmyam
तेऽपि देव्याः निरातङ्काः स्वाधिकारान् यथा पुरा ।
यज्ञभागभुजः सर्वे चक्रुर्विनिहतारयः ॥
te 'pi devyā nirātaṅkā svādhikārān yathā purā / yajñabhāgabhujaḥ sarve cakrur vinihatārayaḥ
तेव्हा देवीच्या कृपेने भयमुक्त झालेले ते देवही पूर्वीप्रमाणे आपल्या-आपल्या अधिकारपदांवर व कर्मांवर पुन्हा स्थिर झाले. शत्रू मारले गेल्यावर ते सर्व यज्ञांतील आपापला भाग पुन्हा घेऊ लागले.

Dharma in the Purāṇic sense includes the maintenance of cosmic and social order; Devī’s victory is not merely martial but restorative—returning beings to their proper functions (svādhikāra) and re-establishing yajña as the stabilizing link between gods and world.
Primarily touches Manvantara (order in a Manvantara) and indirectly Sthiti (maintenance): after the destructive conflict, stability is reinstalled and sacrificial reciprocity resumes.
The ‘return of yajña-shares’ symbolizes the reintegration of fragmented powers (deva-śakti) into a harmonious cosmic economy; when inner adversaries are ‘slain,’ the faculties again receive their rightful ‘offerings’ (energy, attention) in a regulated way.
