Adhyaya 86 — Dhumralocana’s Mission and His Ashing by the Goddess; Shumbha Sends Chanda and Munda
विच्छिन्नबाहुशिरसः सृतास्तेन तथापरे ।
पपौ च रुधिरं कोष्ठादन्येषां धुतकेसरः ॥
vicchinnabāhuśirasaḥ sṛtās tena tathāpare /
papau ca rudhiraṃ koṣṭhād anyeṣāṃ dhutakesaraḥ
اور کچھ، جن کے بازو اور سر کٹ چکے تھے، اس سے بھاگ گئے؛ اور ایال ہلاتا ہوا شیر دوسروں کے سینوں سے خون پی گیا۔

The ‘flight’ of the asuras indicates that unrighteousness ultimately cannot stand before truth-power; it collapses into fear and dispersal when confronted by uncompromising protection.
Still within the Devi-ākhyāna (episode). It is exemplary narrative rather than a structural pancalakṣaṇa passage.
Blood-drinking imagery can signify reclaiming and transmuting dissipated life-force (vital energy) from destructive patterns back into protective strength under Devī’s aegis.
