Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 488: Shri Damstrojjvala (ōṃ daṃṣṭrōjvalāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother as Rakini Devi is residing in the Anahata chakra in twelve-petaled lotus has the shining tusks and fearful teeth. 

For elephants and forest living pigs long tusks and fearful teeth are there. Rakini Devi has such enormously powerful tusks. Such elephants and forest pigs can do very powerful actions with their powerful teeth as well.  Whichever the being either human or animal do highly powerful action using their body parts, it is given that they got those strengths from the Divine Mother. This is the interpretation of this Namam. 

Such fearful white-coloured teeth, gives light to the black body of the forest pigs or the elephants. Such similar tusks add to the beauty of Rakini Devi.

Rakini Devi as the Divine Mother  has long tusks like an elephant.
