Adhyaya 84 — The Gods’ Hymn after the Slaying of Mahishasura and the Goddess’ Boon
देव्युवाच व्रियतां त्रिदशाः सर्वे यदस्मत्तोऽभिवाञ्छितम् ।
ददाम्यहमति प्रीत्या स्तवैरेभिः सुपूजिता ॥
devyuvāca vriyatāṃ tridaśāḥ sarve yadasmatto 'bhivāñchitam / dadāmyahamatiprītyā stavairebhiḥ supūjitā
Nữ Thần phán: Hỡi chư thiên, hãy chọn từ Ta điều gì các ngươi mong muốn. Ta sẽ ban cho với niềm hoan hỷ lớn, vì Ta đã được tôn thờ trọn vẹn bằng những lời tán tụng này.

The text emphasizes bhakti as efficacious: praise rooted in recognition and surrender culminates in an offer of boons, teaching that divine aid is accessed through alignment and reverence.
Carita: a concluding dialogic moment within the Devi’s deed-narrative, not a pancalakṣaṇa enumerative section.
‘Choose what is desired’ can be read as the awakened will (icchā-śakti) becoming empowered when consciousness harmonizes with Śakti through stuti—desire is purified into purposeful intention.
