Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 429: Shri Nihseema mahima (ōṃ niḥsīmamahimnē namaḥ)

In Namams 381 to 474, the Divine Mother’s Jnana Yoga worship methods are discussed in details. 

The Divine Mother’s glory is unlimited. 

Nature is the good example for this Namam. The flower researchers say that they cannot fully explain and document the attributes of the flowers in the universe; their forms and background are far beyond the researchers reach. Physicists who do work on micro elements realize that what they know about all over the universe is also present inside the micro atom. If one analysis the stars and the galaxies in the universe, he also realizes that it is far beyond explanation. The people analyzing various universal life forms also conclude that they cannot fully explain the totalities of the universe. The Divine Mother has created all these universal things; She is managing or ruling them smoothly. So we can only praise Her as Nihseema mahima with limitless glories. To understand and praise such glories is good form of worship the Divine Mother. 

Sima is the border or limit; Nihseema is limitless. Her glories are limitless. 

All things in this universe, other than the Brahman have only limited attributes. The glories of Brahman (the Divine Mother) are limitless. The Divine Mother with unlimited glory is none other than Brahman.

 

The Divine Mother with limitless glories.
