Adhyaya 85 — The Gods’ Hymn to the Goddess and the Emergence of Kaushiki; Shumbha Sends His Envoy
इन्द्रियाणामधिष्ठात्री भूतानां चाखिलेषु या ।
भूतेषु सततं तस्यै व्याप्तिदेव्यै नमो नमः ॥
indriyāṇām adhiṣṭhātrī bhūtānāṃ cākhileṣu yā / bhūteṣu satataṃ tasyai vyāptidevyai namo namaḥ
Pagpupugay at pagyukod sa Diyosang sumasaklaw sa lahat, na bilang kapangyarihang namumuno sa mga pandama ay patuloy na nananahan sa lahat ng nilalang sa bawat dako.

Self-control is not merely personal effort; it is participation in a higher order. Revering the Devī as the indriya-adhīṣṭhātrī sacralizes discipline and makes ethical restraint a form of worship.
