Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 496 Shri Vadana traya samyuta (ōṃ vadanatrayasaṃyutāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother as Lakini yogin is residing in the Manipuraka chakra in ten-petaled lotus. She has three faces meaning Akasa, Vayu, and agni tattavas. 

The Divine Mother is beyond all Her innumerable forms. She is considered to have one face to many uncountable numbers of faces; each face is a representation of a tattva.

The devotees may not be able to study and understand all the Divine Mother’s forms and faces. He need not worry about his inability. All Her forms and Her sounds all represent the Divine Mother in all Her glories. To consider this way is easy. This is not against the Divine Mother. It is always better to realize that She is in so many forms.

 

                      The Divine Mother with three faces same as Lakini Devi in Manipuraka chakra.
