She is fond of all vows and disciplines, even to other Deities,

because All are Her creations. Every devotional discipline practiced

goes to please Her.

 

Priya also refers to the result of yAga or yajNa, which is of the

nature of Ista, or Bliss. VratA means food. Thus the name means "the

fruits of yAga," i.e., the bliss that results from sacrifice is Hers

as food.

Sahasranama, 1962
