यो भक्तिमान्पुमाँल्लोके सदाहं तत्सहायकृत् ॥ विघ्नहर्ता रिपुस्तस्य दंड्यो नात्र च संशयः ॥ ४१ ॥
I always assist a man endowed with devotion and remove his obstacles. A person devoid of devotion is worthy of being punished. There is no doubt about it.

भक्तहेतोरहं देवि कालं क्रोधपरिप्लुतः अदहं वह्निना नेत्रभवेन निजरक्षकः ॥४२॥
I am the protector of my devotees. For the protection of a devotee of mine I burnt the God of death, O goddess, in the fire emerging from my eyes.

For the sake of a devotee of mine I became very furious with the sun formerly. I over-powered him with my trident.

I was not a party to the evil actions of Rāvaṇa (though he was my devotee). For the sake of another devotee I discarded Rāvaṇa with all his followers.
