Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 180: Shri Nirnasa (OM nirnAshAyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother is enduring forever or imperishable.

The Divine Mother is not destructible. She is the root cause.

She does not have any form. Even during parlaya, She cannot be seen to have a form. Then, She is in non created state.

Steam from sea turns into cloud first. Later it turns into rain with a form. The Divine Mother during creation takes the form of five elements forms. Later though She goes into formless state, She controls innumerable creatures. She alternates her stature; from formless to that with form; but never is She perished.

Solid things go through changes. Finally they end up in destruction. The Divine mother does not change Herself and is not destructible.

Srimad Narayaneeyam by Sri Melpathur Bhattathiripad says “It is beyond time, space and all such limitations; it is eternally free”.

The Divine Mother has no end. Gita 11.7 says “Know that to be imperishable by which all these are pervaded, none can cause the destruction of That – the imperishable”.

The Divine Mother is imperishable.
