Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 385: Shri Sakshi varjita (OM sAkShivarjitAyai namaH)

In Namams 381 to 474, the Divine Mother’s Jnana Yoga worship methods are discussed in details. 

The Divine Mother does not have any other witnesses. 

There is no other one to be the Divine Mother’s witness. " She is Aadhi and Antham. . She created the universe she also witnesses Pralayam. So there can not be a witness for her actions. She is witnessing billions and more of universal beings in their creation, sustaining and destruction. Her form is eternal and infinite. To represent Her and universal vastness, She is called Visalakshi. She is beyond time, place and other universal things. She is watching everything in this universe as they happen. There cannot be any other person or soul or deity to witness Her actions. She is far beyond any of them with Her infinite form. There can be nothing different to Her. She understands Herself well and the vast universe, She is controlling. Every universal being is under Her control/supervision. She is the witness to Her own glory. 

For all the universal happenings, She is the only witness. The universal creation, sustaining and destruction are all under her control. She knows everything in this universe. There is no other being who fully understand Her, to be the witness for Her actions and movements. She is cause of all actions in this universe. There is no one before or behind Her to witness Her, as She does not have a beginning and end. 

There has to be someone different from her to witness her actions. By unison with Lord Shiva, both are same and even He cannot witness Her actions. Brahman is one, non-dual with nothing different or distinct from it. So there cannot be any other witness for the Divine Mother’s actions.

 

    The Divine Mother as Raja Rajareswari.
