Devastutā (देवस्तुता) refers to “one who is eulogised by the gods” and is used to describe the Goddess Śivā (Umā/Durga), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as Menā eulogised Goddess Śivā:—“Great favour has been shown by you, O Goddess, O mother of the universe, inasmuch as you have manifested yourself in front of me brilliantly. You are the primordial one among all Energies. O Śivā, you are the mother of the three worlds. O Goddess you are the beloved of Śiva, you are great goddess eulogised by the gods [i.e., sarva-devastutā]. O great Goddess, be pleased. Remain in my meditation in this form, but have the form of my daughter in public view”.
