Verse 5 of 42
Chaupai 5 of Durga Chalisa
Tum Sansar Shakti Lay Kina तुम संसार शक्ति लय कीना।
Palan Hetu Ann Dhan Dina पालन हेतु अन्न धन दीना॥
Meaning
By your power the world comes into being and dissolves again. To sustain it, you gave food and wealth.
Why this verse matters
Some books read 'shakti lai kina' (you made the world by taking up your power) in place of 'shakti lay kina'. The sense is close.
