LalithA SahasranAma [495] manipUrAbjanilayA

manipUrAbjanilayA : Abiding in the ManipUra lotus.

 

ManipUra is the ten-petalled lotus in the navel. Here the Yogini named

LAkini resides. Here meditation is :"Let us meditate on LAkini in the

eight-petalled lotus of the navel, three-faced, tusked, red-coloured,

bearing in her hands, the dart [sakti], the thunderbolt, club and

abhaya [ a weapon ], most terrible with terror, presiding over the

flesh, fond of sweetmeat, doing good to all."
