Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 174: Shri Nir Bhava (OM nirbhavAyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother is without origin. There is no creating or becoming for Her.

 Lord Shiva and the Divine Mother are one in their unison as also seen in Arthanareeswara. In Arthanareeswara, we can also visualize each of them separately. There is no birth or death for them.

The Divine Mother is the Supreme Self. She does not have samsara sagara. There is no destruction for Her.

She is the embodiment of eternity. There is no starting or ending for Her.

Thus, She is Nir Bhava
