Adhyaya 85 — The Gods’ Hymn to the Goddess and the Emergence of Kaushiki; Shumbha Sends His Envoy
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु श्रद्धारूपेण संस्थिता ।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śraddhārūpeṇa saṃsthitā / namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ
సర్వభూతములలో శ్రద్ధారూపముగా నివసించు ఆ దేవికి నమస్కారం, నమస్కారం, నమస్కారం; పునఃపునః నమస్కారం।

Śraddhā is portrayed as divine energy within all persons; ethical steadiness and spiritual practice become possible when one recognizes faith as sacred rather than merely psychological.
A theological hymn (stuti) complementing Purāṇic instruction; not a direct pancalakṣaṇa unit, though it supports dharma by grounding it in Devī’s immanence.
Śraddhā functions as the subtle ‘adhikāra-śakti’—the inner eligibility and orientation that turns the mind toward mantra, ritual, and knowledge; salutation acknowledges the source of that inner turning.
