In Advaita-L, long ago Anand asked what >is the name of this Lion (typically other vaahanas have names such as, >nandi, garuDa, etc). AFAIK, devii bhaagavatam does not mention a name. Sanskrit word for tiger is vyAghra or shArdUla. I dont remember these words being used to describe HER vAhana. Lalitopakhyana mentions the name of the lion of vArAhi as vajragosha. > >Some pictures showing ambaaL riding on a Tiger is probably an influence >of some bengali tradition (This is my guess).
