Though he described every thing so far, Hayagriva did not mention any thing about Lalitha Sahasranama. He then describes the city of Sripura, Her abode, the greatness of Her Mantra, the panchadasakshari, the essential oneness of Sri Yantra, Sri Vidya, Lalitambika and Sri Guru, and initiates Agastya into the Sahasranamas of Devi’s attendant deities. Hayagriva tells Agasthya the story of the incarnation of Lalitha Maha Thripura Sundari and describes her sports. It is presented in the form of instructions imparted to the sage Agasthya by Hayagriva who is an incarnation of Sri Maha Vishnu.

Thereafter, Devi's place (Chintamani gruham), her war against bandasuran, kundalini shakthi, her properties (like who can reach her and who cannot) etc. Now the next namas - "chidhagnikunda sambhootha devakarya samudhyatha" tells us that devi arose from the fire of knowledge to help devas in their task (war against asuras - bandasura).įrom the namAa- Udhyath bhanu sahasraba till sinjanamani manjeera manditha sree padambuja, all her parts like her face, fore head, eyes, mouth, tongue, voice, hands, hip, legs has been described.

Lalitha has designated the five functions to these brahmmams. This 5 entity (Brahmma, Vishnu, Rudra, Easwara and Sadasiva) are known as "pancha brahmmam". This means - Devi is doing shrishti as Brahmma, sthithi as Vishnu (Govinda), samhara as Rudra, thirodhanam as Eeswara and anugruham as Sadasiva. Devi herself has been described as "pancha kruthya parAyanA" in the sloka and the five tasks are described as follows: They are - shrishti (Creation), sthithi (Protection), samhAram (Destruction), thirOdhAnam (Hiding) and anugraham (Blessing). The sloka is organised based on the 5 works ( pancha kruthyam). Lalita sahasrama however does not make any use of such auxiliary conjunctions and is therefore unique in being a pure enumeration of holy names that meet the metrical, poetical and mystic requirements of a sahasranama solely by their order throughout the text. Further, in order to maintain the metre, sahasranamas use the artifice of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are only conjunctions not necessarily needed for the meaning except in rare cases of interpretation. Lalita sahasranama has the unique distinction, among all the sahasranamas, of not repeating even a single name. Usually, in a sahasranamam, if the same name repeats, the commentators use their scholarship and inspiration to give different meanings to different occurrences of the same name (this practise occurs also in Jewish Talmudic commentary). Some of the modes of worship are parayana (Recitations), archana, homa etc. This Sahasranama is used in various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother. Lalita Sahasranama names the various attributes of the Divine Mother, and all these names are organised in the form of a hymn. It is a principal text of Shakti worshippers. Lalita Sahasranamam is held as a sacred text for the worship of the Divine Mother, Lalita, and is also used in the worship of Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc.

The slokas are organised in such a way that, Devi is described from "Head to Feet" (kEsAdhi pAdham).

This depicts us the truth "One can worship Lalitha only if she wishes us to do so". The 8 vaag devis are - Vasini, Kameshwari, Aruna, Vimala, Jayinee, Modhinee, Sarveshwari, Koulini. Lalitha sahasranama was composed by 8 vaag devis (vaag devathas) upon the command of Devi Sri Lalitha. It is a dialogue between Hayagriva, an ( avatara) of Maha Vishnu and the great sage Agastya. This hymn occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. The names are organised as in a hymn, i.e.
