Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 510 Shri Madhu prita (ōṃ madhuprītāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother as Kakini yogin is residing in the Svadhisthana chakra in six-petaled lotus. She is fond of honey and all offerings made with honey. 

Madhu means honey; fruit juices and intoxicating drinks are also called Madhu. This Namam explains the necessity to evaluate the food items and eliminate any shortfalls in them. 

In Tantric Devi worship starting with M syllable, there are five items present. Madhu is one such item. Honey is needed to provide strength for the body of beings.  

The people who drink limited amount of Madhu or intoxicating drink have good digestion; their body is strengthened. In Tantric Devi worship sect, they prepare Madhu as a medicine; so deep meditation is possible for them. Madhu helps the body which is praised as the Divine Mother’s action. 

The Divine Mother as Annapoorana Devi.
