Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 312: Shri Ranat kinkini mekhala (OM raNatki ~ NkiNimekhalAyai namaH)

In Namams 275 to365, the Divine Mother’s  many forms providing benefits to Her devotees in great details are discussed.

The Divine Mother wears a girdle with tinkling bells; with the sound making ornament in Her waist. 

Normal lower level matured people look at the dress and ornaments worn by others. Their Rasya or happiness by then is for them to start to worship the Divine Mother. 

The girdle in Her ornament worn at her waist gives out good musical sound; with that sweet sound, She is drawing the devotees towards Her to worship. Her outward appearance with such musical ornament is to please and to give happiness to Her devotees. 

She wears the girdle over Her ornaments; The verse of invocation, describe the Divine Mother as “decorated with all the ornaments (Sarvalankarayukta)”. 

 

The Divine Mother is wearing the ornament in Her waist.
