Mother's Names 426 to 450

 (426) परंधाम Parama-dhaama -The highest abode which needs no sun, moon or fire. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 807

The sun never illumines that, nor moon, nor fire.

Param Dhaam  is the state of consciousness, after reaching which one does not return to the lower consciousness. Stability in such consciousness is the attainment of Mother's supreme abode.

Dhaam, is really not a certain place or space but the state of consciousness.

The State of tranquility, reality, knowledge and bliss represents Mother's abode.

When all differences vanish, including even that of the enjoyer and the enjoyed and sameness is experienced in all the three states of waking, dreaming and sleeping, and when I and myness is squeezed out from every other thing except Mother, that state of consciousness represents Mother's supreme abode.

(431) परमानन्दा  Paramaanandaa - Immeasurably happy.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 252

Mother is Paramaanandaa because She is the giver of supreme bliss.

(432)  परमेश्वरी  Parameshvari - Supreme Ruler. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तो., नाम क्रमांक 396

(433) परमोदा  Paramodaa  - Happy, on making others happy.

Mother is Paramodaa, as She is supremely delightful spreading happiness all around. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 940

(434) परमोदारा  Paramodaaraa -Taking the most charitable view.

Mother is Paramodaaraa, i.e., supremely generous. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 939

(436)  पराकाशा   Paraakaashaa - Supreme ether.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 782

(437) परात्परा  Paraatparaa -   The supremest of the supreme.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 809

Mother is greater than the greatest, nearer than nearest, more befriending than the most befriending. The worship of he Highest Lord, Servant of the lowest servant, grosser than the grossest, and subtler than the subtlest.

(438)  परानिष्ठा Paraanishthaa  - Supreme end.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 573

Attaining Mother is the final goal.

All kinds of actions and knowledge, sooner or later, bring the soul to that conclusion.

All actions good and even bad, by experience lead you to the same conclusion, that being the goal to be achieved, Jivas are made to to do all different actions, both bad and good, and to pass through various experiences. 

(439) परापरा  Paraaparaa - Superior and Inferior.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 790

"Paraa means superior, enemy, distance, " and Aparaa the reverse. Paraa means others and Aparaa means the self; again Paraa means foe, and Aparra  friends. Paraaparaa is he, who is far and near, without and within, foreign or familiar foe or friend.

Mother is neither of these and yet both of these.

Paraa and Aparaa also mean the two kinds of knowledge true and false , similarly night and day, and therefor mother is dawn, which joins the two.

Mother when She wants to create, prompts Her devotees to praise Her, as the dawn at the time of the beginning of creation.

Knowledge is said to be two fold by the division of Paraa and Aparaa. Of these, the first is the supreme knowledge and  leads to the cognition of the Mother, and liberation from  bondage of the self. The second Aparaa knowledge is such knowledge of false notions, beliefs, differences, etc. as simply becomes the cause of greater and greater bondage . Some add the Paraaparaa knowledge which is there, when one who well knows both varieties of knowledge, continuously swings between the two and attains little of permanent gain.

Worship is also of three kinds : Aparaa, Paraaparaa and Paraa.

Aparaa means , remaining in the spiritual realm of nonduality, the Aparaaparaa is worship of Mother , through and by means of the (Shree) Chakra.

The Paraa means worship of all manifestations of Her, without the higher understanding.

Mother is also three fold, paraa , Aparaa and Paraaparaa. Brahmi, the creative energy, which has the white colour, is said to be Paraa. Vaishnavi, the protective energy, which has the red co;our is Aparaa and Raudri, the destructive energy, which is black coloured, is called Paraaparaa.

(440) पराशक्तिः Paraashaktih -The Supreme energy.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 572

" In the human body, five substances, viz., skin,blood, flesh,fat and bones are derived form Shakti. Remaining four substances, viz., marrow, semen,breath and vitality are derived from Shiva. Thus this body consists of nine substances derived from the two origins. The tenth substance which is above nine, and controls them is called Paraa Shakti."

"Energy of whatever kind that is attributed to any substance is called shakti, and Shakti is the ruler of all the different innumerable shaktis. Energized substance is the miniature of shiva. Those substances which possess energy are the manifestation of Shiva. The wise recognise the energies, in and of substances to be shaktis."

(441) पशुपाशविमोचिनी  Pashupaash-vimochini -Releasing the ignorant from bondage. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 354

Pashus ( lit. animals )  are those who simply eat, drink and enjoy themselves and who are devoid of the conviction and devoid of the knowledge about Mother's existence, about the psychic Law of Desire, thought and action, or the Law of action and reaction, about immortality of the soul and about what leads to liberation, etc. Pashu also means Jiva in contrast to Pashu-pati which means Shiva, who is the liberator. Hence the pashus are those who are devoid of wisdom. They who have no sense to understand past, present or future, their own nature or the working of others and the universe in their true colors.

Paasha (Bondage): The inherent blindness, incapacity to rise above the uncontrollable thirst and hunger of one who thinks of eating, drinking and making merry only. Pashu is one who is tied down with Paasha ( noose ).

Paasha also means dice and the " Pashupaashavimochini " may be taken to mean " She that relieves Her devotees from miseries, " whenever they play foolishly in dice game of worldliness and entangle themselves.

(442) पशुलोकभयंकरी  Pashulokabhayankari  - Filling the sinful with fear. The beauty is that the very same Mother in Her same facial expression and attitude , and at the same moment, looks most charming to Her devotees and most terrible to the sinful. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 482

Who is a Pashu ? Pashu literally means an animal. Let the big talk about deep knowledge and no knowledge, go. In the ordinary walk of life , Pashu-ism is increasing day by day. Pashus are there, in best dresses, best speeches, quite in happy and royal conditions. Pashu is, as Mother's Lodge understands, one whose only life ambition is to get maximum pleasure, without any consideration of others and without least consideration, as to how he secures it,who proceeds only a few steps in the path of goodness and righteousness, just when he is in distress and again stops, who has no sense of gratitude or returning any good act, and no visualization of his own level and plane , who does not know the source of true happiness, and has no foresight as to what will make him happy or unhappy, in the long run. In a word, Pashu is one in whose case, the only punishment note and the king of his feeling and thinking is "My happiness and my comforts and my conveniences and my desires, first."

A Pashu has nothing like duty or a consideration of good or bad, or a consideration for others. He only fears the cudgel. Similarly a man who acts well, only because of the fear being scolded , dismissed , starved or punished or being rendered unhappy, on the withdrawal of assistance, sympathy, etc., is a Pashu.

All men, to whom gratefulness and goodness are not known, who live in the satisfaction of senses and who place their happiness in advance of that of others, and who have no hesitation to secure that happiness by any means, and at the cost of any other people , and therefore whose discriminative senses are blurred, are so many two legged Pashus.

If man's gratitude to God is also getting less and less, he is similarly a Pashu. Faithlessness to God , guru, parents, husband, master, bread-giver, protector king, donor, patron, benefactor,etc., and absence of the idea about one's plane, fitness and gratefulness.

Let the class of Pashu-ism, which is largely on the increase, first disappear, and then the Pashu-ism in contrast of Pashupati-ism, i.e. , Jiva-condition in contrast of Shiva-condition , be considered.

One well-known aphorism is this :

Eating, sleeping, fear and sexual enjoyment are common to human being and animals. There is one distinction between men and animals , and it is men have Dharma (Religion).Those without Dharma are really animals. Dharma should be taken to mean Righteousness and Right-understanding in the first place , and thereafter,the technique of an individual religion.

If your goodness, the other man, equally shows goodness, he is a man. If for one act of your goodness, he shows ten, he is an angel. If for no good act of yours or even if you have badly acted, one does good acts, he is saintly. On the other hand, as a result of more of a goodness of yours, more he sits on your shoulders, he is a Pashu. Those who act well and better, only on being cudgelled, are Pashus. Those who are ungrateful are Mahaa Pashus (big animals), as animals are generally, not so ungrateful as many persons.

Pashus are they, the Summem bonum of whose life and living is wine, wealth and women. The psychology is interesting to know, Jiva or Shiva, Pashu or Pashupati is a soul. The difference is in imperfection or perfection, ignorance or knowledge, desirefulness or desirelessness, etc.

All selves are characterised by three qualities, by existence, knowledge and bliss. The unevolved ignorant and the deluded, in view of their natural characteristics, want to live, i.e., to exist, want to be as much as they can, and to be as many as they can and thus they are naturally drawn to Wine (best bodily tonics nutritive and delicious diets), dinners, etc., to Wealth (means for getting as much as they desire) and Women (means for multiplication and fountain of temporary consolidated sensual bliss).

The difference in evolution is primarily, the difference in understanding. The higher soul wants to live , not by own bodily comforts or through children, but love and fame, in people's hearts, by goodness, benevolence and useful service, He wants to be a greater dimension by knowledge, for to him knowledge is power and superior to wealth. He derives bliss, not from women, but from devotional and spiritual living.

He does not desire to multiply himself by producing children, but by increasing the circle of devout followers of Mother.

The sexual energy in the case of higher souls is transformed into the creative energy, which enables them to create noblest characters and noblest institutes.

(443)  पश्यन्ती  Pashyanti - Manifest form of speech. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 368

(444) पाटलीकुसुमप्रिया Paatali-kusuma-priyaa   - Fond of Paatali flowers.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 773

(445) पादाम्बुजा  Paadaambujaa -Lotus -Feeted .(Extra).

I could not complete this list without the meditation of Her Lotus Feet and I could not find a name. I have therefore coined in and incorporated this new name.

(446) पापनाशिनी Paapa-naashini - Destroying sin. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 167

By the repetition of Her Mantra and name, etc., She destroys the sins of devotees. The Shruti says, " Like the point of a reed in the fire, all sins of Her devotees are burnt up". " The devotee who is devoted to practising practising virtues and penance and who continually repeats (mantras), even if he always sinful actions , he is not afflicted thereby,. Sin never resides in the hearts of those who repeat (mantras), or offer oblations ,or meditate, or make  pilgrimages (going to saintly persons)". "The mass of sins, though as immeasurable as Mount Meru, is instantaneously destroyed on approaching Mother.He who is devoted to Durgaa, is not stained even by committing heinous crimes, in the same manner as the lotus leaf is not affected by water full of moss". "The sinful actions of those who are devoid of Varna and Ashrama, ( caste and life order) and the wretched, by mere meditation on Mother, become virtuous."

As per Maai-istic ideal, it is only a delusion of oneself that he is a devotee, if he has not risen much above the tendency of committing  crimes and sins, although he may be most rigidly undergoing penances or performing religious duties and practices. These statements refer to clemency regarding sins of past and do not mean getting a blank cheque, for future criminal or sinful conduct.

(447) पापारण्यदवानला Paapaaranya-davaanalaa  -The forest fire consuming the forest of sin. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 743

Dava ( forest-fire ) means devotion also, which is the means of destroying sin. The Brahma Puraan says, " The supreme expiation of all sin weather committed knowingly  or unknowingly, is said to be the remembrance of the Feet of the Supreme Mother."

The following is quoted from Hindu Scriptures : " Hear, Oh Devendra, the great supreme secret, which immediately destroys all sin. Possessed of devotion and faith, after purification, stand in solitude, in penitential spirit and repeat the Mother's sacred name one thousand and eight times. Thus worshipping the supreme Mother any one is released from all sins."

(448)  पायसान्नप्रिया Paayasaanna-priyaa  - Fond of milk-product.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 480

(449)  पार्वती Paarvati  - The mountain daughter. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र नाम क्रमांक 246

 Mother is at times extremely hard-hearted and in that sense, She is the daughter of mountain- a rock, a stone. Paarvati is an ideal of chastity, and She is extremely severe to those devotees of Her, who are loose in their sexual behaviour and character though of course She is severe, with a view to give a tremendous moral lift.

No person should therefor be a special devotee of Mother in the Paarvati form, unless he has extremely staunch and firm and perfectly pure in morality. There instances of devotees having turned lunatic, who had no control over their morals and worshipped Mother as Paarvati.

The same idea of exemplary chastity and austere celibacy  is seen in Paarvati's first son Kaartikeya, If any lady worships or enters  a Kaartikeya temple, it is believed that she would shortly be a widow.

 Paarvati is known her Her unbounded anger in cases of breach of breach of chastity, so much so, that she has not desisted from kicking Her own husband Shiva, at the slightest suspicion of a breach of chastity.(Please vide Shloka 86 of Saundarya Lahari).

(450)  Paavanaakritih पावनाकृतिः - Of purifying figure. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 619

"Penance and knowledge are the means of purifying the soul (Bhutaatman). The knowledge purifies intellect and the soul is said to be on the way to be completely purified on being initiated into the knowledge of the Mother

A Mai-ist must always remember this secret. " By disgrace and censure by others, the penance of the devotees is increased. Whereas by adulation, service and worship by others, the penance  is destroyed. If you jump at the immediate little return, you loose the highest supreme return."  

Mother's Names 401 to 425

 [401]  निस्तूला Nistulaa -Incomparable,not weighing balances.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 184

With no balance of stern justice but mercy "Without cause or comparison." No comparison.There is no other method of attaining salvation so easy as this, open for all and for which a person of any fitness is eligible.

This group is very important, in as much as it suggests the work to be done by aspirant. Mother's path is called mysterious and practical. It very emphatically states, that whereas whatever is being preached and taught in scriptures and prided upon by Pandits or patriotic people, is only the whitest picture, the practical life is the darkest picture. That path, which does not close its eyes to the living facts of life and tries to practically tackle the hard problems of spiritual progress, from the darkest existing picture to the whitest ideal picture, is Mother's path. 

By daily repetition or meditation of a white picture, you are helped in a way, but that is not the remedy in itself.Success in life and progress is achieved by practice and practice alone, after that you know what the white picture is, in contrast with the dark one, and the dark one in contrast with the white one.

"What you should be " is known through scriptures showing white picture , but "How" is a big problem and Mother is said to be Guhyaat Guhyataraa गुह्यातगुह्यतरा , mystery of mysteries, because it is the Mother's immensely practical path, that deals with "How." 

Mother's Ideal says"Girdle your loins, raise up your sleeves , make out an analysis of yourself."If you can't do that yourself, consult your Guru.No drunkard has left of drinking,by reading Temperance reports or reading "Soldier's Wife" or repeatedly seeing the well known Marathi मराठी drama, the drama of "One peg alone (एकच प्याला)."

In Mother's Path, Abhyaasa does not mean study but practice. Practice of eliminating your vices  and strengthening virtues. That idea of elimination is so strongly emphasized 

here, by so many names ending with Naashini नाशिनी- " the destroyer of ".

The pairs of names as sinless and sin-destroyer, prideless and pride-destroyer are to serve as an eye-opener to the little-out-looked people, who are under the delusion that every thing is done as soon as the white picture is mastered.These names go to emphasize the need of  constant watchfulness,always remembering that degenerating force is ever at work. From time to time there is need of a continued effort, just as every house after having been once swept, has again and again to be swept daily. First sweeping is referred to by " Nir " - निर and the continued process of sweeping by " Naashini " नाशिनी. This interpretation does not cancel the previous ones.

This practice has to be done by invoking Mother's Grace by Mother's worship, and Guru's Grace by serving him, and by serving him and fully confiding him and submitting him the daily progress report of the smallest details to one's Guru, if one has the Guru or to Mother Herself, who is the Greatest Guru in the Mother's Path.

Few people understand why in the Mother's Path Love is so much valued and why the first requirement of the Mai-ist is "Love all". It becomes still more difficult for people who have no discrimination of love and lust.

All goodness, virtue, true happiness, and peace of mind results from "Love".Love or the feeling of the unity of all different selves in and with Mother and one's own self,is creative of order, organisation, consolidation, equilibrium and tranquility.

The feeling of separateness ( Bheda) of different selves as a result of different conditions, is creative of disorder, disorganization, disintegration, disturbance and disquietude.

It need not be often repeated, that Mother is Love and not Power, to a Mai-ist, as has been mostly conceived

till now.Mother's worship and Mother's remembrance in the case of Mai-ist, ( i.e.with man having the conception of Mother as Love ) charges the mind battery with Love.

Love towards superior results in respect, veneration and worship. That towards equals results in goodwill, friendship and companionship, that towards inferiors in tenderness,pity and compassion.

Absence of Love results in indifference,apathy and unconcern. The reverse of Love, i.e., hate results in fear towards superiors, anger towards equals and contempt towards inferiors.

It is Love or the reverse of love, i.e., Hate which develops one type or the other of emotion character and behaviour.

Love towards superiors, equals and inferiors results in modesty and humility, affection and considerateness and kindness and generosity.

Hatred results in cowardice,peevishness and arrogance respectively. Love helps, Hatred harms. Love gives , Hatred takes. Love prays and feels grateful, appreciates and returns. gives and shares. Hatred evades and betrays, defies and condemns, insults and injures.

Love results in trust, faith, cheerfulness,contentment, forbearance, magnanimity, mercy, forgiveness, confidence, honesty, dignity, charity, etc.

Hatred results in dejection, despair, distrust, jealousy, bitterness, annoyance , worry, discontent, wrathfulness,disdain,deceptiveness, treacherousness,

rebelliousness, meanness, servility, revengfulness, falsehood, intolerance, cruelty,harshness, exactingness,extortion,,hypocrisy, rashness, ungratefulness, censuring, complaining, carping, blackmailing , tyranny, intimidation, bigotry, scoffing, etc.

In one word, the Mai-ist believes that most of the happiness or misery of the inmates of a society, nation or race or humanity depends on how far there is love or hatred and absence or presence of the bitter differences of superiority and inferiority between its inmates. It is on these points that the Mother's Lodge Ideal lays the highest stress " Love All" " Think little of your superiority over others " " We are all children of one and the same Universal Mother"etc.

[402] निस्त्रैगुण्या  Nistraigunyaa - She that is devoid of, as also above the effects, of the three qualities. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक  789

[403]  निस्सीममहिमा Nissim-mahimaa - Of immeasurable Greatness. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 429

[404]  नीलचिकुरा Nila-chikuraa -  Blue-haired. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 185

[405] Naishkarmyaa नैष्कर्म्या - Affected by no actions. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 900

Mother is neither sinful nor righteous. She is free from the taint of action. Mother is untainted by pain, action and the result of action and mental impression.

Mother is given this name , which literally means actionless for several reasons.(1) She so tactfully manages every smallest detail of the working of the Universe in the sets of ostensible causes and effects, that most of the average men remain in delusion, regarding Her real Finalmost Power behind such ostensible reasons. (2) Mother is actionless for them that consider the supreme working power to be the Law of Action and Reaction and do not believe in any intersession or reserve powers to make exceptions. (3) She is called actionless to evade any imputation regarding the evil and misery, injustice and inequality, partiality and mercilessness. (4) Finally , She is called Actionless because whatever Grace She showers , She sportively and lovingly attributes to anyone of Her most believed devotees and prompts the society and humanity to believe so, although the devotees are Nimittas (for name's sake only).

True devotees called themselves to be "measure". The donor and the Grace -Showerer is Mother, the recepients are blessed children of Mother, and the measure, the vessel, the temporary container of the Grace, which Mother handles to pass Her Grace are Her self-surrendered devotees.

A devotee king on Mother's day (Friday) giving alms worth thousands, to the learned , poor, destitute and needy. For the whole period that he was distributing alms, he kept his head hanging low towards the ground, with tears trickling at intervals. Someone asked "why". The devotee said"Whatever is given is Hers. Whomever it is given  are Hers. Why has Mother ordained such a hard ordeal for me to test, if I get deluded and succumb with the idea of being the giver? Is it not enough for Her to know, that I am not worthy enough for the dust of Her devotees' Lotus Feet on my head.?"

प

[406] Panchakrityaparaayanaa पंचकृत्यपरायणा - Devoted to the five functions. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 274

Thus the five functions of Mother are the creation, preservation, destruction, annihilation and causing the reappearance of the universe, which manifest themselves one after another, incessantly.

In the above names , five names are Hers in Her "energy" aspect, five names are Hers as substance. Or say, there are five names as the propeller and five as the actor.

Mother binds the whole universe and holds souls bewildered by the noose of illusion and the strong ropes of " I " and " Mine ". Corresponding to the five functions of the Supreme Power above stated, and individual souls's functions are Illumination ( creation ), affection ( preservation ), dissatisfaction ( destruction ), lamentation ( annihilation ), fructification ( causing reappearance ).

[407] Pancha-koshaantara-sthitaa पंचकोशांतरस्थिता - Residing in the five sheaths. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 428

Corresponding to our bodies there are five sheaths. These Koshas are called Annamaya, Praanamaya, Manomaya, Vijnaanamaya and Aanandamaya. Each is involved in the preceding one. Of this five, the innermost last is the Aanandamaya and with that, Mother is identified.She is the witness and controller of these sheaths.

[408] Panchatanmaatrasaayakaa पंचतन्मात्रसायका - Having the arrows of the five subtle elements. [ ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 11 ]

The five subtle elements viz, sound, touch, sight, taste and smell, are arrows; these are in Her upper right hand. " The arrows are of three kinds; gross, subtle and supreme; the gross are flowers, the subtle are mantras, and the supreme are the vaasanaas. Of the gross arrows two important flowers are the lotus, and the mango-flower. The other three are Raktakairav, Kalhaar and Indivar. In the Vaasanaa forms, joy, attraction, confusion, maddening and dying are the five arrows. Some say they are  Sankshobhan (agitation), Dravan (wetting), Aakarshan (being attracted), Vashya (surrendering) and Unmaad (being mad).

The plainest thing is that this Mother, the Active Mother, utilizes the very same weapons of noose, elephant-hook, mind and the arrows and Her energies of desire, knowledge and action, to protect, guide,lift and liberate the souls or do otherwise, according as Her Grace goes. One thing is however certain, on the top of everything, that She is for evolutionising and finally liberating one and all.

This is exactly what happens with every energy. How to utilize it is ours. Floods may ruin villages, and may as well create a gigantic hydro-electric power. With the very weapon, one may kill his enemy or commit suicide.The very noose may bind us or our enemies. It wholly depends generally on our desires, thoughts, actions, and natural tendencies, but principally on our devotion and Her Grace.

[409]  पंचप्रेतमंचाधिशयनी  Pancha-preta-manchaadhi-shayini  - Reclining on the couch, formed of five corpses.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र , नाम क्रमांक 945

[410]  पंचप्रेतासनासीना  Panchapretaasanaasinaa Seated on the seat(formed) of five corpses. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 249

When deprived of their respective  gifts of Shaktis from Mother, the five principal deities are incapable of action and thus deprived of their power, they are like corpses.

The principal deities are Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Shiva and Sadaashiva. Their powers enabling them to be what they are, are Vaamaa, Jeshtaa, Raudri, Shiva and Shakti respectively.

The corpses refereed to may also be taken to be Jiva, Prakriti, Buddhi, Ahankaara and Manas. 

Mother is, as it were enjoying rest on the bed sheet of the heart of the devotee, as if She were taking rest after strenuous work of spiritual uplift of the devotees.When She after a little rest for the final Grace shower looks at Her devotee, one devotee as it were becomes five-fold, or five devotees. Two of theses are lost in Her bewitching eyes, one in Her smile and two in Her Lotus Feet. These five devotees are corpses before Mother showers Grace on them by looking, in the sense of being fully devoid of  any energy whatever. They are corpses again, after the spiritual unification with Mother, in the sense of having merged their individuality in Mother. Devotees are corpses just before and after communion with Mother.

[411] पंचब्रह्मस्वरूपिणी Pancha-brahma-svarupini  -  Of whom the five Brahmans are the five forms.Scriptures says,"The unconditioned Brahma by the play of Maayaa becomes five-conditioned Brahmaas, viz., "Brahmaa, Vishnu, Mahesha, Ishvar and Sadashiv." Some explain five Brahmas to mean Jiva (soul), Prakriti (inborn nature),Ahankaar (egoism), Manas (mind) and Buddhi (discriminative faculty).  ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 250

[412]   पंचब्रह्मासनस्थिता Pancha-brahma-asana-sthitaa - Sitting upon a seat, formed of five Brahmas. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 58

The terms state," There is the Supreme Mother, in the supreme house built of Chintaamani gems , which on meditation, gives the desired objects. There is a great pleasant couch, whereupon Maheshvar serves as the pillow, Sadaashiva as the mat and whereof Brahmaa, Vishnu, Mahesh and Ishvar are the four supports."

On this great couch the great Tripurasundari reclines.

[413] पंचभूतेशी Panchabhooteshi  -  Ruler of five elements, viz., ether, air,light, water and earth. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 949

[414]   पंचमी   Panchami  - Adored by the fifth. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 948 

And it is only She who by Her Grace prepares the devotees' mind by sublimating the same, adjust the proper angle of vision and removes all sins by forgiveness. It is She by whose Grace the devotee is able to see what She really is, viz., that She is Panchami पंचमी , viz., that She is worshipped of the fifth of the Brahmaa ब्रह्मा , Vishnu विष्णु , Mahesh महेश  ,Ishvar ईश्वर  and Sadaashiva सदाशिव .

Shiva is the highest of the Trinity. Ishvar is higher than Shiva being the possessor of Maayaa. Sadaashiva is higher than Ishvar and Mother is the worshipped of that Sadaashiv.
