"Lalita Sahasranama" begins by calling the goddess "Shri Mata" (the great mother), "Shri Maharajni" (the great queen) and "Shrimat Simhasaneshwari" (the queen sitting on the lion-throne). In verses 2 and 3 of the "Sahasranama" she is described as a "Udayatbhanu Sahasrabha" (the one who is as bright as the rays of thousand rising suns), "Chaturbahu Samanvita" (the one who has four hands) and "Ragasvarupa Pashadhya" (the one who is holding the rope). "Chidagnikunda Sambhuta" (one who was born from the altar of the fire of consciousness) and "Devakarya samudyata" (one who manifested Herself for fulfilling the objects of the "devas") are among other names mentioned in the "sahasranama".
