Adhyaya 86 — Dhumralocana’s Mission and His Ashing by the Goddess; Shumbha Sends Chanda and Munda
स दृष्ट्वा तां ततो देवीं तुहिनाचलसंस्थिताम् ।
जगादोच्चैः प्रयाहिति मूलं शुम्भनिशुम्भयोः ॥
न चेत्प्रीत्याद्य भवती मद्भर्तारमुपैष्यति ।
ततो बलान्नयाम्येष केशाकर्षणविह्वलाम् ॥
sa dṛṣṭvā tāṃ tato devīṃ tuhinācalasaṃsthitām /
jagād uccaiḥ prayāhīti mūlaṃ śumbhaniśumbhayoḥ //
na cet prītyādya bhavatī madbhartāram upaiṣyati /
tato balān nayāmyeṣa keśākarṣaṇavihvalām
见女神安住于喜马拉雅，他高声喊道：“去到舒姆婆与尼舒姆婆面前！若你今日不甘愿前往我主处，我便以强力擒你，扯着你的发丝拖走，使你因被拽发而痛苦。”

It functions as exemplary narrative (ākhyāna) teaching dharma through contrast; not a direct treatment of sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa, but a didactic mythic episode embedded in the Purāṇa.
Hair-pulling signifies forcible extraction of śakti (power) by ego. The Himālaya setting symbolizes steadiness (acala) and transcendence; the demon’s demand represents the mind’s attempt to dominate the source of inner power.
