Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 513 Shri Kakini rupa dharini (ōṃ kākinīrūpadhāriṇyai 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 on a six-petaled lotus. 

As described in earlier Namas, She is four faced to represent four Vedas, four yugas, four Purusharthas (Dharmam, Ardham, Kamam, and Moksham), and four of the five elements, three eyed, bearing in Her four hands the trident, the noose, the skull and abhaya mudra. She is ever proud, residing in the fat of living beings; She is attended by Bandini and other five Devis; She is yellowish in complexion; She is fond of honey and food mixed with curd. She is the giver of desires for the devotees. 

On completing the meditation on Kakini Devi, it is customary to touch the navel which is Her place of residence. 

The Kakini Devi is the Divine Mother.
