Adhyaya 85 — The Gods’ Hymn to the Goddess and the Emergence of Kaushiki; Shumbha Sends His Envoy
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु नीतिरूपेण संस्थिता ।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu nītirūpeṇa saṃsthitā / namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ
Той Богине, что пребывает во всех существах в образе nīti (праведного поведения/верного устроения), — поклонение Ей, поклонение Ей, поклонение Ей; вновь и вновь — поклонение.

Nīti—principled guidance in personal and social life—is divine in origin; governance and self-governance alike should be aligned with sacred order rather than mere expediency.
A hymn emphasizing the ethical ground of dharma; not a pancalakṣaṇa narrative unit, but it supports the Purāṇic purpose of dharma-teaching.
Nīti can be read as the inner ‘discriminative ordering power’ that aligns thought, speech, and action; it is Devī as the intelligence that steers life toward harmony.
