Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 687: Shri Rajatkripa (ōṃ rājatkṛpāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother’s compassion rules over and captivates everyone.

She is full of kindness and compassion. Depending upon one’s mindset and attitude, one’s ability to show the level of kindness to others comes out. Mature souls show their kindness without hesitation. In Ramayana, Vali had taken his younger brother’s wife, and Shri Rama decided to punish him with death.  Since Vali realized his evil action, Shri Rama granted salvation to him. The Divine Mother with motherly nature shows Her unlimited compassion to all. When humans err and they repent to the Divine Mother, Her compassion comes in freely to them. This proves the point that to submit to the Divine Mother is to always get Her grace and blessings.

Her compassion is very famous. It shines at all places and times. She does not look for reasons to shower her compassion to all. Fathers’ love and kindness will mostly be hidden. Mothers’ love for their children will be explicit and more affectionate

In general, there is a limit to one’s compassion, but the Divine Mother’s compassion is limitless. It freely flows towards everyone, friends, and foes alike. It reaches those near and far. That is Rajatkripa, the Divine Mother. That is the glory of Her compassion.

Kripa means "mercy", "grace", "compassion" or "kindness"

The Divine Mother’s Compassion is reaching everyone.
