LalithA SahasranAma [571] mahApralayasAksini

[Guest guest]

mahApralayasAksini : Witness of the great dissolution.

 

As BrahmA, visnu, etc. perish at that time of the dance of Siva at

the great dissolution, she alone is the witness [of that dance]. It is

said, "Bearing the noose, the elephant hook, the bow of sugar-cane,

and the arrow of flowers, your form alone remains victorious,

witnessing the dance of the divine ParaBhairava, bearing the axe at

the time of dissolution of the universe"
