Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 685: Shri Rajya dayini (ōṃ rājyadāyinyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother gives dominion. Dayini means she who bestows.

She gives the Kingdoms to rulers of the domains. Mahavishnu has Vaikundam, Shiva has Kailasham, Indra has Indralokam and Brahma has Brahmaloka as their kingdom. The head of the family has the responsibility to take care of the welfare of everyone in the family; he must help people near and dear to their family; he must help the poor people. Only those who have the blessings of the Divine Mother can take care of such responsibilities, which are like controlling larger than family, the kingdom. Since the Divine Mother has distributed the responsibilities to various people and kingdoms, She is called Rajya dayini.

The Divine Mother. gives the controlling responsibilities to the individuals; to control their body, mind and intellect,( Sthoola, Sookshma and karana shariras). She is the Ultimate Empress granting such responsibilities and needed resources to individuals, kings, emperors, and the divine leaders. She is called Rajya dayini.

Dominion is not only in this world, but also in other worlds such as Vaikunda, Kailasha and Brahmaloka. The Divine Mother will decide who has dominion over all these worlds.

Those with faith will not question the statement that all material and spiritual realms are attained only because of Her, will and pleasure; She is the Rajya dayini.  

The Divine Mother is the Raja dayini, ultimate universal ruler.
