यया स महिषः पूर्वं निहतो दानवो रणे । कौमारव्रतधारिण्या मायाशतसहस्रधृक्
yayā sa mahiṣaḥ pūrvaṃ nihato dānavo raṇe | kaumāravratadhāriṇyā māyāśatasahasradhṛk
اسی دیوی کے ہاتھوں پہلے جنگ میں بھینسے کی صورت والے دانَو کا وध ہوا تھا—وہ کومار ورت (کنوار پن کی نذر) دھارن کرنے والی، اور سینکڑوں ہزاروں مایاوی شکتیوں کی حامل ہے۔
Sūta
Tirtha: Camatkārī-devī-sthāna
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvija-uttamāḥ
Scene: The goddess, youthful and radiant, slays a buffalo-formed demon on a battlefield; her face is calm, her weapons blaze, and illusory armies dissolve under her māyā.
The Goddess embodies purity and invincible power, destroying adharma even when it appears formidable.
The verse supports the greatness of the local shrine of Camatkārī Devī by recalling her demon-slaying glory.
No direct ritual is prescribed here; the verse establishes the deity’s śakti as the basis for later worship-benefits.
