LALITĀ-SAHASRANAMA
1-3 She is the Holy Mother, the great Queen,
the Sovereign enthroned on the lion's
back.
4-5 From the altar fire of Divine Conscious-
ness has she sprung, she has sprung
up to fulfil the purpose of the gods
Radiant as a thousand suns rising all at
once is she-the four-armed One
6-7
8-9
The noose in her hand is woven of her
love, and her flashing goad is wrought
out of her anger
10-11 Her sugar-cane bow is framed out of
her own mind, and out of the five
subtle elements themselves are shaped
her arrows
12
And in the rose-red splendour of her
form is the whole universe bathed
13-14 Bright and fragrant with flowers-cham
pika, asoha and punnaga-are her
locl s of hair, and she wears crown
shining with rows of kuruvinda gems
1-16 And bright as astame moon is her forehead
and like the spot in the moon is the
kasturt tilaka thereon
