Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 373: Shri Kameshvara prana nadi (OM kAmeshvaraprANanADyai namaH)

Namams 373 to380 are describing, the Divine Mother’s Shakti Peetams where She is residing. 

The Divine Mother is the consort and very fond of Lord Kameshvara. 

The Divine Mother is the vital nerve (prana nadi) of Lord Kameshvara. So long as the prana nadi is ticking, the creatures are living; once it stops, the creatures die. The universal creatures’ prana nadi have start and end periods; whereas Lord Kameshvara is there eternally with no birth or death. He is non destroyable. 

The Divine Mother is Lord Kameshvara’s very life. The Devas face death during pralaya, even though they take the nectar.  When the Devas were looking for nectar in the ocean of milk, first worst poison came out. Lord Shiva drank that poison; the poison did not have any effect on Lord Shiva. She is in unison with Lord Kameshvara (Shiva), being the vital nerve (prana nadi) for Him. 

Sri Shankara in Soundarya Lahari (verse 22) says “Even the Devas who had taken the nectar (bliss) that removes the old age, perish (death), during pralaya, the great dissolution. However, Lord Shiva who consumed worst killing poison can defy death even at that time. The reason for this, O Mother is the power of Your ear ornaments.”  In such brilliance of the ornaments, the darkness of the poison taken by Lord Shiva fades and the poison ceases to be effective or loses it effect.
