您是增长与昌盛；您是道路与归宿；您是行作者与造作者。您是舍稚、吉祥天女与帕尔瓦蒂。您是娑维特丽与伽耶特丽——不可战胜，灭罪之主。
Devas (collective praise to the Devī)
Tirtha: Arbuda-devī (as Gāyatrī-śakti)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī stands radiant, with iconographic hints of Śacī (Indra’s queen), Lakṣmī (lotus and śrī), and Pārvatī (mountain/triśūla association), while a Vedic Gāyatrī mantra scroll or sun-disc (Sāvitrī) glows behind her; devotees seek pāpa-nāśa.
FAQs
All divine functions—prosperity, guidance, creative agency, and mantra-power—are unified in the one Devī who also purifies beings by destroying sin.
The Arbuda region is the narrative setting, but this verse specifically glorifies the Devī’s universal forms rather than a named tīrtha.
By invoking Gāyatrī/Sāvitrī, it implicitly highlights japa and Vedic recitation as purifying disciplines, though no explicit injunction is stated.
