LALITA SAHASRANĀMA
 
936 937 Her eyes are large, and she is utterly
passionless
 
938-940
 
943-944
 
of the universe, the protectress of
the world
 
She is supremely daring, supremely
generous and supremely joyful.
 
She is all spirit, the skies above are
but the hair of her head
 
She sits high in her celestial car, and the
thunderbolt is the weapon she wields
 
945-946 She is the presiding deity of the left-
ward Kaula path, but she also loves
the five sacrifices of the rightward
Samaya path
 
947-948 She ever rests on a couch supported by
five divine but inert forms, and yet
of the fifth of these she is the consort
 
949-950. She rules over the five great lements,
and she is worshipped with the five
fold offerings
 
951-954 She is eternal, and eternal is her domi-
nion, she gives eternal happiness
 
955-957 She is the earth on which all beings rest,
she is the daughter of the mountain
Himavat, supremely blessed is she
 
958 959 Righteous is she, and she promotes
righteousness in others
