Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 85: Shri Srimad Vagbhava Kutaika SvarUpa Mukha Pankaja (OM shrImadvAgbhavakUTaikasvarUpamukhapa ~ NkajAyai namaH)




In Namams 85 to 87 describes the hidden meaning of the Divine Mother’s form

The Divine Mother’s lotus face is auspicious Vagbhavakuta (a set of syllables of Pancadasi or Srividya mantra).

Her subtle body is in three forms: subtle, subtler and sublest. These are in mantra form known as Pancadasaksari, Kamakala (essence of desire) and in other Kundalini Sakthi form.

The subtle form is called Panchadasaksari (fifteen syllables) mantra.  This is divided into three parts.

The first five syllables are known as the Vagbhavakuta. Vakbhava kuta consists of five syllables viz. ka-a-e-la-hrim.

The second part with six syllables is Madhyakuta or Kamarajakuta. Madhya kuta consists of six syllables ha-sa-ka-ha-la-hrim. 

The final part with four syllables is Saktikuta.
 Shakthi kuta consists of four syllables sa-ka-la-hrim.

Vagbhavam is the beautiful face of the Divine Mother. When She came out of the yaga fire, first Her face came out. For a person the thinking or mind can get out through the face. The speech is the key in the face or Vagbhavam.

The Divine mother’s beautiful and auspicious face can be described in mantra form. This represents Her power of wisdom or Ganasakthi.

 Close enough meanings:
Srimad is endowed with auspiciousness; prosperity
Svarupa is true form; self form
Mukta is liberated
Pankaja is lotus flower
