Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 592: Shri Candra nibha (ōṃ candranibhāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is resplendent like the moon. In the Sahasrara chakra. 

The Divine Mother’s shining is comparable to that of full moon. When She walks down from Her Simhasanam (her seat where is sits and rules the universe) in each step Her glories are enlightened and shining beautifully. Below Sahasrara, thousand-petaled lotus, in Brahmrandra, Her, beauty and shining are more than a full moon. Her shining is equal to Brahma light; this is many times greater than the Sun’s light. There is no heat in it, but it is cool to give happiness. 

In the Sahasrara.the Divine Mother is Satha, the sixteenth-day deity having full moon radiance. This moon is eternal without any blemish in it. The Divine Mother has that specific moon as Her form. 

The Chandramandala (disc of the moon) is just below the Brahmarandra. This region represents one of three kutas of the Pancadasi mantra (fifteen syllable). The moon there is said to have the splendor of many millions of lightning flashes, the Divine Mother is as resplendent as that moon.

The Divine Mother is resplendent like the moon.
