The hymn asserts Devī as the universal potency behind all phenomena—manifest and unmanifest—making ordinary praise inadequate; devotion here is grounded in recognizing the Divine as the very basis of reality.
Primarily Sarga (cosmic principles of manifestation) in theological form: the verse identifies śakti as the enabling cause of all entities, framing creation/appearance through Devī’s power.
“Sat–asat” and “akhilātmikā” point to Devī as both immanence and transcendence; she is the power by which even categories like real/unreal are cognized—suggesting Māyā not as mere illusion but as cosmic agency.
