Adhyaya 82 — The Rise of Mahishasura and the Manifestation of the Goddess from the Gods’ Tejas
दृष्ट्वा समस्तं संक्षुब्धं त्रैलोक्यममरारयः ।
सन्नद्धाखिलसैन्यास्ते समुत्तस्थुरुदायुधाः ॥
dṛṣṭvā samastaṃ saṃkṣubdhaṃ trailokyam amarārayaḥ |
sannaddhākhila-sainyās te samuttasthur udāyudhāḥ ||
त्रैलोक्यं समन्तात् क्षोभितं दृष्ट्वा देवशत्रवोऽसुराः सर्वबलं समायोज्य शस्त्रपाणयः समुत्थिताः।

When adharma swells, it disturbs not merely society but the cosmic order (trailokya). The verse frames evil as reactive—arming itself when the Divine presence becomes unmistakable.
Primarily within Vaṃśānucarita/Carita-style narrative (descriptive sacred history) rather than Sarga/Pratisarga. It is a theologically charged episode embedded in the Purāṇic narrative stream.
‘Three worlds in upheaval’ signals a total psycho-cosmic disruption when the egoic/daemonic principle confronts Śakti; the arming of the asuras symbolizes the mind’s intensification of resistance at the threshold of transformation.
