Adhyaya 91 — The Gods’ Hymn to Kātyāyanī and the Goddess’ Prophecy of Future Manifestations
भूयश्च शतवार्षिक्यामनावृष्ट्यामनम्भसि ।
मुनिभिः संस्तुता भूमौ संभविश्याम्ययोनिजा ॥
bhūyaś ca śatavārṣikyām anāvṛṣṭyām anambhasi | munibhiḥ saṃstutā bhūmau saṃbhaviṣyāmy ayonijā ||
پھر جب سو برس کا قحط ہوگا—جب نہ بارش ہوگی نہ پانی—تب رشیوں کی ستوتی سے میں زمین پر ‘ایونِجا’ (جو رحم سے پیدا نہ ہو) کے روپ میں ظاہر ہوں گی۔

In extreme scarcity, Devī is portrayed as the restoring principle of life (water/food). Ethically, it underlines communal survival through sacred remembrance and the protection of dharma embodied by sages and right conduct.
This is narrative-carita with a purāṇic ‘future-occurrence’ motif; it is not a manvantara list but a prophetic extension of Devī’s līlā within the carita stream.
A ‘hundred-year drought’ can read as a symbol of prolonged inner aridity (loss of rasa). Devī’s ayonijā manifestation indicates awakening that is not produced by ordinary causality but by grace responding to sustained invocation.
