Shloka 3
Jarāsandha-vadha-upadeśa and the Departure toward Magadha (जरासन्धवधोपदेशः मागधप्रस्थानं च)
दानवानां विनाशाय स्थापिता दिव्यरूपिणी । यो मां भक्त्या लिखेत् कुड्ये सपुत्रां यौवनान्विताम्
dānavānāṁ vināśāya sthāpitā divyarūpiṇī | yo māṁ bhaktyā likhet kuḍye saputrāṁ yauvanānvitām |
ข้าถูกแต่งตั้งเพื่อทำลายเหล่าทานวะ และข้าสามารถทรงรูปอันเป็นทิพย์ได้ ผู้ใดวาดข้าด้วยศรัทธาบนผนังเรือนของตน ให้เป็นสตรีวัยเยาว์พร้อมด้วยบุตรทั้งหลาย—

Educational Q&A
The verse links devotional remembrance and respectful installation of a divine protective presence in the home with prosperity and well-being, while framing the deity’s role as the removal of destructive forces (Dānavas).
A divine feminine figure speaks of her commission to destroy the Dānavas and describes a household practice—devoutly depicting her on a wall in a youthful form with sons—promising continual increase for the devotee’s household and warning of loss otherwise, while noting she has long been worshipped in the addressed lord’s house.
