Manifestation of Lalita Devi

At the end of the Homa, Lalita Devi came out of the Chidagni Homa Kunda, seated on a
special chariot called “Chakra Raja Ratha”. Therefore, we find the descriptions such as
“Chidagnikunda sambhoota” “Deva kaarya samudyataa” and “Chakra Raja Rathaa
Roodha Sarvaayudha Parishkritaa” in Lalita Sahasranama.
The Sri Chakra Raja Ratha had the following dimensions:
A. Width 4 Yojanas (1 Yojana is approximately 9 miles)
B. Height 10 Yojanas
C. Parvas (landings) 9 in number
D. Chakras (wheels) – the four Vedas.
E. Horses – the four-fold aims (Purusharthas)
F. Flag absolute bliss.
G. The seat at the topmost landing is the Bindu Peetha.
H. Form – of the form of Meru Prastara.
I. The material that was used to make this was ‘Tejas’.
The Lalita Parameshwari so manifested, created a male form from within Herself. His
name was Kameshwara.
By her power of will, she created 4 different weapons. They were,
(i) Ikshu Dhanus
(ii) Five arrows
(iii) Pasha (noose)
(iv) Ankusha (a special hook).
She held all these weapons in her hands. We see the description – “Chaturbahu
samanvitaa” in the Lalita Sahasranama. She was shining like the morning sun, with
crimson color. (Udyad bhanusahasraabhaa is a description found in Lalita Sahasranama).
Her beauty was full in all aspects. (Sarvarunaanavadyangee sarvaabharanabhooshitaa –
Lalita Sahasranama).
She always appears as though she is 16 years of age. (Nityaa shodashikaaroopaa is a
description in Lalita Sahasranama. This description has two meanings. One meaning is
that she always appears as one who is sixteen years of age. The other meaning is, there
are 16 Nityaa Devis. She is of the form of these 16 Nityaa Devis. Maha Shambhunatha
praised her in many ways.
