Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 684: Shri Raja rajeshvari (ōṃ rājarājēśvaryai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the ruler of all Kings and Emperors. 

She is the ruler of every king and emperor in this universe. All small kingdoms with the kings, report to a larger Rajarajan or Emperor. She is ruling all such emperors, who get their power and wealth from Her for ruling the given domain.  For example, electricity provides all kinds of help to mankind, without which many instruments will not function. Likewise, without the Divine Mother’s grace and blessings, all the emperors cannot function; they will become static state. She is controlling all of them. There is nothing greater than the power of Ishwari, the Divine Mother. Therefore, the Divine Mother is celebrated as Raja Rajeshvari.

Indra is the leader of eight directional deities; Fire (Agni), Yama (god of death), Nirruti (means South-West Corner), Varuna (water), Vayu (air), Kubera (wealth keeper) and Ishana are the seven directional deities under the leadership of Indra, who is the Rajarajan. Those eight directional deities are under the Trinity Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra, who are the emperors. Kubera is a servant of Shiva, is powerful as the holder of wealth.  Kameshvara is leading all the Devas and all Ishvaras. The divine Mother is the Ishwari for all of them holding the highest position. 

Therefore She is called Raja Rajeshvari.

The Divine Mother is the Raja Reshvari,

ultimate universal ruler.
