Adhyaya 86 — Devi's Grace
ऋषिरुवाच इत्युक्तः सोऽभ्यधावत्तामसुरो धूम्रलोचनः ।
हुंकारेणैव तं भस्म सा चकाराम्बिका ततः ॥
ṛṣir uvāca ity uktaḥ so 'bhyadhāvat tām asuro dhūmralocanaḥ /
huṅkāreṇaiva taṃ bhasma sā cakārāmbikā tataḥ
Disse o Ṛṣi: Assim interpelado, o Asura Dhūmralocana arremeteu contra ela; então Ambikā, com um simples hūṃkāra, reduziu-o a cinzas.

True authority is not brute force but intrinsic power aligned with dharma. The demon’s aggression collapses instantly when confronted by the Goddess’s effortless sovereignty.
Didactic sacred history (ākhyāna) illustrating dharma’s triumph; ancillary to the Purāṇa’s broader pancalakṣaṇa structure.
Huṃkāra signifies primordial vibration and command (icchā-śakti). ‘Smoke-eyed’ ignorance is burned to ash by a single flash of awakened sound-consciousness.
