Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 634: Shri Shailendra tanaya (ōṃ śailēndratanayāyai namaḥ)

The Goddess Divine Mother is the daughter of Himavan the King of Mountains. 

As the daughter of Himavan, the leader of all mountains, She gets the name Shailendra tanaya. As his daughter, the Divine Mother also gets the name Parvati. She is also called Hemavati and Girija (Giri means Mountain). A mountain is generally in a non-moving state, but it can be stated between moving and non-moving conditions. The Divine Mother is both Jada shakti and Cit shakti. Due to Her power of penance, She had changed from Jada state to Cit state as explained in all these recent Namas.  Her devotees, by reciting these recent Namas are all able to change from Jada state to Cit state themselves is the interpretation of this Namam. So, the lower-level souls from Jada state gradually reach highly matured Citstate can be understood from these recent Namas. 

The Divine Mother leads the most exalted state of Indra (Splitting the word as: Shaila + Indrata+ naya).

The Goddess Parvati the daughter of Himavan the leader of mountains.
