The Divine Mother is firmly established.
She forms the firm foundation for the whole universal structure. Based on the strength of the foundation, the upper structure gets firmness. Like a strong foundation in constructing a building, the Divine Mother provides the strength to whole universe. Due to Her immense power and strength given to the universe, it cannot be shaken by any other force. There is a Supratishta a poetic meter (Chanda’s) which has 20 Baja syllables; the Divine Mother is in this Supratishta form, and She get that name for this Nama.
She has the firmness and power to hold the universe. If the supporting thing is firm, then, the supported thing will be firm as well. The Divine Mother supporting the universe is eternally strong and unshakeable. Earth, Sun and Moon are all moving but they have the unmoving Divine Mother as their support; so, they are firm. As the Divine Mother is holding and supporting the whole universe, She is termed as Supratishta.
She is beyond time; so, She is firmly established. If we are to call a truth or a philosophy eternal (Sanatana), it should be without any mistake, firm through the past, the present and the future. When we label the Advaita (non-dual) philosophy and all the spiritual doctrines revealing around its axis as eternal, we mean that it has firmness that transcends the ages.
