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 |
مجھے دانَووں کے ہلاک کرنے کے لیے مقرر کیا گیا ہے، اور میں الٰہی صورت اختیار کرتی ہوں۔ جو کوئی عقیدت کے ساتھ اپنے گھر کی دیوار پر مجھے جوان عورت کی صورت میں، بیٹوں سمیت، نقش کرے—

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.
