Adhyaya 91 — Cosmic Recapitulation
विश्वेश्वरि त्वं परिपासि विश्वं विश्वात्मिका धारयसिति विश्वम् ।
विश्वेशवन्द्या भवती भवन्ति विश्वाश्रया ये त्वयि भक्तिनम्राः ॥
viśveśvari tvaṃ paripāsi viśvaṃ viśvātmikā dhārayasīti viśvam /
viśveśavandyā bhavatī bhavanti viśvāśrayā ye tvayi bhaktinamrāḥ
Ó Soberana do universo, Tu proteges o universo; sendo o próprio Si de todos, sustentas o universo. És adorada até pelo Senhor do universo; aqueles que se inclinam a Ti com devoção tornam-se refúgio para o mundo.

Devi is presented not only as protector but as the immanent ground (ātmikā) sustaining existence. Ethically, devotion transforms the devotee into a shelter for others—spirituality is measured by one’s capacity to protect and uplift the world.
This is stuti embedded in itihāsa-like Purāṇic narrative (Upākhyāna/Vaṃśānucarita function). It does not directly enumerate Sarga/Pratisarga/Manvantara/ Vaṃśa, but supports the Purāṇic aim of dharma through sacred narrative.
Calling Devi ‘Viśvātmikā’ implies the identity of cosmic power and consciousness: the universe is not separate from the Divine. ‘Viśveśa-vandyā’ encodes supremacy of Śakti even over Īśvara in the Shākta metaphysic.
