LalithA SahasranAma [985] ambA

[Guest guest]

Mother.

 

The previous name was 'endowed with the three quallities," hence she

is the cause of the three qualities. This is called in the Tantras the

soul of the mantras [mantrajiva]. The TantrarAja says, "The three

qualities are the cause of tejas, of the forms of Sakti, and of the

universe. The cause of these [qualities] is [Devi]; that samyaktva

[rightly] means the attainment of perpetual contemplation of the

nature of That.

 

That samyaktva is called the strength of the mantra or the soul of the

mantras. " or, she is the ambA, the mother of all the worlds.

She is the Mother of the Three Gunas (i.e., the Mula Prakrti of Sankhya).
