Adhyaya 88 — The Manifestation of the Matrikas and the Slaying of Raktabija
माहेश्वरी त्रिशूलेन तथा चक्रेण वैष्णवी ।
दैत्याञ्जघान कौमारी तथा शक्त्यातिकोपना ॥
māheśvarī triśūlena tathā cakreṇa vaiṣṇavī /
daityāñ jaghāna kaumārī tathā śaktyātikopanā //
மாஹேஸ்வரி திரிசூலால் கொன்றாள்; வைஷ்ணவி சக்கரத்தால். கௌமாரி மிகுந்த கோபத்துடன் தன் சக்தியால் தைத்யர்களையும் வீழ்த்தினாள்।

Dharma is upheld through coordinated capacities: discernment (cakra), transformative force (triśūla), and disciplined valor (Kaumārī’s śakti).
Episodic narrative supporting sectarian theology (Śākta synthesis of multiple divine powers).
The Mātṛkās represent integrated faculties of the psyche; their weapons are yogic instruments—cutting delusion (cakra), piercing the triple knot (triśūla), and directing concentrated will (śakti).
