O Goddess, you are that one; therefore you are "sūtiḥ"—noble protection [śobhanā ūtiḥ], an irregular formation derived from the root 'av' with the suffix 'ktin'. Because, through praise belonging to you, the excellence—the celebrated spotlessness—of the virtuous man ever sits in assemblies. And so to that virtuous man comes an extended existence: a wide state of presence arrives. The meaning is that he obtains long life, health, and sovereign power; they manifest for him. What kind of existence? One in which the production—the arising—of plagues, namely diseases, is destroyed and removed. // 93
By your own command, O dispeller of impurity, the entire world is illuminated;
ever by you, along with the gandharvas, it is kindled, from the repelling of foes. // 94
