Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
शरणागतदीनार्तपरित्राणपरायणे ।
सर्वस्यार्तिहरे देवि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
śaraṇāgata-dīnārta-paritrāṇa-parāyaṇe | sarvasyārti-hare devi nārāyaṇi namo 'stu te ||
சரணடைந்த ஏழை மற்றும் துயருற்றவர்களை காக்க அர்ப்பணித்த தேவி, அனைவரின் துன்பத்தையும் நீக்கும் வல்லவளே—நாராயணீ, உனக்கு நமஸ்காரம்।

Divinity is defined by active compassion: protection of the vulnerable is a sacred value. Socially, it implies that devotees should mirror Devī by safeguarding the distressed.
Falls under dharma-oriented purāṇic teaching through stuti: it emphasizes the divine role as protector, which undergirds righteous order in the world.
‘Śaraṇāgata’ indicates the inner act of surrender; when egoic resistance collapses, grace (prasāda) is experienced as the removal of ‘ārti’ (existential agitation).
