Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 514 Shri Muladharambujarudha (ōṃ mūlādhārāmbujārūḍhāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother as Sakini yogin is residing in the Muladhara chakra on a four -petaled lotus.  She is surrounded by four amrta (immorality) shaktis. 

In general, the devotee is not to meditate on Muladhara, Svadhishtana and Manipuraka chakra Devis. If he does, then his worldly needs and desires will only come to his mind. Higher level thinking will not appear here. He ought to keep his favourite deity in his Anhata chakra lotus and meditate. For example, to build a house, foundation is needed which is not in view and nobody looks for it in a house; likewise, the first three chakra meditation is not normally recommended. 

Four-petaled lotus in Muladhara is the base for the Kundalini in the anal for the humans. Sakini Devi’s abode is in there. 

She is meditated on as follows: We meditate on Sakini, who resides on four-petaled Muladhara lotus. Five faced, three eyed, smoke coloured, presiding over the bones in living beings. She is having in Her hands the goad, lotus, book, and gyana mudra (the sign of Knowledge). She is attended by gentle Varada and three other deities. She is fond of eating mudga beans and drinking mead. 

Achariya Adi Sankara in his Soundarya Lahari verse 41 explained the Muladhara chakra details, as shown in refence 4 below.

O! Mother! In your Muladhara chakra, I contemplate on the Samayaa (Ananda Bhairavi),

who is engrossed in the Lasya dance, along with Nava atman (Ananda Bhairava) dancing

the wonderful Siva Tandava dance filled with Nava rasas (nine different expressions of

mind). This world is no more an orphan as it has acquired the Father and the Mother in

You two. You are compassionate and have creation as your objective. 41
