Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 479: Shri Vadanika samanvita (ōṃ vadanaikasamanvitāyai namaḥ)

In Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms. 

The Divine Mother as Dakini Devi has only one face, in Visuddhi chakra. 

Representing the Divine Mother, She resides in the throat, has only one face. The scriptures prescribe silence when eating. The reason being that the Visuddhi chakra Dakini Devi is in the throat has only one face. 

The Divine Mother depending upon the form, may have many faces or even no face at all which is reflective of Her glory. However, Visuddhi chakra Dakini Devi has only one face. Certain universal creatures do not have a face for example, crab has its eye in the body and has no face. 

Visuddhi chakra represent the element Akasa (sky).

    The Divine Mother as Dakini Devi armed in four hands.
