विद्याविद्ये जये जाप्ये महिषासुरमर्दिनि । सर्वगे सर्वविद्येशे देवि विश्वस्वरूपिणि
vidyāvidye jaye jāpye mahiṣāsuramardini | sarvage sarvavidyeśe devi viśvasvarūpiṇi
Ôi Nữ Thần—Ngài là minh tri và cả vô minh; là chiến thắng và là thánh japa cần trì tụng; là Đấng diệt Mahīṣāsura; Đấng khắp nơi, Chúa tể mọi tri thức—hỡi Devī, Đấng mang hình thể chính là vũ trụ!
Devas (the gods, led by Indra/Mahendra)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī is envisioned as cosmic: within her aura appear symbols of knowledge (books, lotus), veiling (a translucent veil), victory (banner), and japa (mālā); she stands as Mahīṣāsuramardinī yet simultaneously as the universe-form.
Devī is both the source of liberating knowledge and the cosmic power behind veiling—she governs victory and the transformative practice of japa.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where Devī’s universal form and protective victory are celebrated as part of the kṣetra’s māhātmya.
Japa is invoked as a sacred practice (that which is to be repeated), though no specific mantra or count is provided.
