Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 169: Shri Krodha Samani (OM krodhashamanyai namaH)

In Namam 132 to 187, the Divine Mother’s Japarupam or Formlessness will be the described.

The Divine Mother destroys the anger in Her devotees.

Desire or Kama causes the samsara sagara. Krodha or anger will be there as long as Kama is there. All intended good deeds will be spoiled with anger.

 With Kama or desire, one cannot reach the Brahman. With knowledge and wisdom, the devotee’s desire and anger will be much reduced.

An angry person will succumb to ignorance and cannot aim for Supreme Self.

One’s anger will automatically go away in front of the Divine Mother. Her grace helps to control and eliminate desire, and anger in Her devotees.  

Samani means calming.
