Adhyaya 81 — Suratha and Samadhi Seek Sage Medhas; Introduction to Mahamaya and the Madhukaitabha Origin Account
देवानां कार्यसिद्ध्यर्थमाविर्भवति सा यदा । उत्पन्नेति तदा लोके सा नित्याप्यभिधीयते ॥
devānāṃ kārya-siddhy-artham āvirbhavati sā yadā | utpanneti tadā loke sā nityāpy abhidhīyate ||
Mỗi khi Nàng hiển lộ để hoàn thành mục đích của chư thiên, thì trong thế gian người ta nói Nàng là “sinh ra”, tuy Nàng vốn hằng hữu, vĩnh cửu.

Divine ‘birth’ is a way of speaking about timely appearance for restoring order. It encourages trust that cosmic balance is upheld: when dharma needs support, Śakti manifests appropriately.
Connects with Pratisarga (recurrent cycles and re-appearances) and indirectly with Rakṣaṇa (protection)—a functional Purāṇic theme even if not one of the classic five labels.
Āvirbhāva implies the Devī is not produced in time; rather, time-bound beings perceive her disclosure as ‘arising’. This parallels yogic insight: realization is not creation of truth, but unveiling of what is.
