Adhyaya 85 — Suratha's Devotion
रौद्रायै नमो नित्यायै गौर्यै धात्र्यै नमो नमः ।
नमो जगत्प्रतिष्ठायै देव्यै कृत्यै नमो नमः ॥
raudrāyai namo nityāyai gauryai dhātryai namo namaḥ / namo jagatpratiṣṭhāyai devyai kṛtyai namo namaḥ
رَودرَا، نِتیا، گَوری اور دھاتری—آپ کو بار بار نمسکار۔ جگت کی بنیاد و استحکام والی دیوی کِرتیا—آپ کو بھی بار بار نمسکار۔
Divinity is not one-dimensional: the same Devi sustains (Dhātrī) and destroys obstacles (Raudrā). Ethically, one learns to revere both the nurturing and corrective powers of reality.
Stotra segment within narrative; contributes to dharma/upāsanā instruction rather than cosmological enumeration.
‘Jagatpratiṣṭhā’ identifies Śakti as the ontological ground; ‘Kṛtyā’ hints at operative mantra-śakti—power that ‘does’ (kriyā) and effects transformation.
