Stuti within ākhyāna; it functions as upāsanā-teaching (how worship works) rather than as a chronological or genealogical record.

Instant destruction of ‘misfortunes’ can be read as the sudden cessation of inner afflictions when awareness turns to its source (Devī as citi). Smaraṇa is a switch from fragmented attention to unified consciousness.
