Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 664: Shri Loka yatra vidhayini (ōṃ lōkayātrāvidhāyinyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother directs the courses of all Her creations in the world and other galaxies in the universe. 

She controls the system of the worlds in the universe. Our present world plus six worlds in upper levels and seven worlds underneath making a total of fourteen worlds are created, stabilized and dissolved by the Divine Mother in proper manner. She is called Loka Yatra Vidhayini. 

She conducts the worlds’ movements. In every second, universal beings are created, living and dissolved; the universe and its worlds are travelling systematically. The Divine Mother controls such a system of the universe. When we reach a stage, it will appear as the end, but it continues further; this universal travel course is endless (until pralaya comes when the universe is dissolved and absorbed by the Divine Mother). All such things happen with the grace of the Divine Mother which is in vidhi or fate form.

The Divine Mother directs the course of the universe.
