Adhyaya 92 — Devi’s Assurance of Protection and the Fruits of Reciting the Devi Mahatmyam
तेऽपि देव्याः निरातङ्काः स्वाधिकारान् यथा पुरा ।
यज्ञभागभुजः सर्वे चक्रुर्विनिहतारयः ॥
te 'pi devyā nirātaṅkā svādhikārān yathā purā / yajñabhāgabhujaḥ sarve cakrur vinihatārayaḥ
Bấy giờ, các chư thiên ấy, nhờ Nữ Thần giải thoát khỏi nỗi sợ, lại đảm nhận chức phận chính đáng như trước; khi kẻ thù đã bị diệt, tất cả lại được hưởng phần của mình trong các lễ tế (yajña).

Dharma in the Purāṇic sense includes the maintenance of cosmic and social order; Devī’s victory is not merely martial but restorative—returning beings to their proper functions (svādhikāra) and re-establishing yajña as the stabilizing link between gods and world.
Primarily touches Manvantara (order in a Manvantara) and indirectly Sthiti (maintenance): after the destructive conflict, stability is reinstalled and sacrificial reciprocity resumes.
The ‘return of yajña-shares’ symbolizes the reintegration of fragmented powers (deva-śakti) into a harmonious cosmic economy; when inner adversaries are ‘slain,’ the faculties again receive their rightful ‘offerings’ (energy, attention) in a regulated way.
