LalithA SahasranAma [468] Vajresvari

[Guest guest]

Vajresvari : She is the sixth nityA deity, or the tutelary deity of

the JAlandhara Pitha.

 

Or, the Sricakra has twelve walls, all built of diamond: in the

center of the eleventh, there is a river called Vajramayi and she is

its deity. DurvAsas [LalitAstavarathan, 44 and 45] says, "There let

the everflowing river called Vajra, be ever lasting, filled with the

sound of the sweet notes of the swans gliding on the beautiful

waves; on the pleasant bank of that river Vajresi flourishes decked

with Diamond ornaments praised by Devas headed by Indra, the hurler

of the thunderbold"

 

Or Devi herself gave Indra the bow, Vajra. The BrahmA Pr says, when

Indra performed penance in the water, "From that water Devi arose

and gave Indra the bow called Vajra. Again she dissappeared and

Indra satisfied returned to svarga [heaven]"

The sixth of the Nitya deities, or the Avyakta-Svarupa in the Sri

Chakra. She is one of the three deities occupying the angles of the

innermost triangle of SrI-Chakra.
