अष्टादशभुजा सा तु शुभा माता सुशोभना । धनुर्बाणधरा देवी खड्गखेटकधारिणी
aṣṭādaśabhujā sā tu śubhā mātā suśobhanā | dhanurbāṇadharā devī khaḍgakheṭakadhāriṇī
Đức Mẫu cát tường, rạng rỡ ấy có mười tám cánh tay. Nữ Thần cầm cung và tên, lại mang gươm và khiên.

Scene: The radiant Mother stands splendid with eighteen arms, holding bow and arrows, sword and shield; her posture is protective, ready to subdue adharma.
Many-armed divine forms symbolize complete capability—protection, justice, and restoration of dharma.
The broader Dharmāraṇya setting continues; this verse emphasizes the Goddess’ form rather than a particular tīrtha.
None; the content is iconographic and narrative.
