Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 818: Shri Satya rupa (ōṃ Satyarupaiah namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the personification of Truth.

She is in Truth form. If something is there in one period and missing in another period, it cannot be the truth. Likewise, available in one place but not in another, cannot be truth. For some reason beings available now and later for other reasons missing, also, cannot be in truth. The Divine Mother and Satya are the same. She does not deviate from truth for time, place, and reason. She is beyond all this. She lives as conscience in very living being’s mind.

She has a stable Rupa in truth form. If something is born, then we can think of its demise. We will have doubts as to how something can be there in all three time periods, namely past, present, and future. The Divine Mother is eternal, we may think that She was created, and She is always visualizable to our eyes. Lalitha and Durgha came to destroy Bhandasura or Durghaman. Such Goddesses forms were for those specific reasons; likewise, Shri Rama came in to destroy Ravana and disappeared. The question may arise as to how they are called eternal? If divinity is disappearing, how the darshans to great poets and sages by the Lords can be possible. So, such forms of the Divine Mother and Shri Rama were not temporary. What we see and visualize is temporary; So, the Divine Mother is having Satya form eternally.

The Divine Mother is the Brahman, who always shines as the ultimate Truth. She is the embodiment of Satya or Truth; wherever there is truth, the Divine Mother is there. “Truth and untruth are opposite; the truth is protected by Shiva, accompanied by the Goddess Uma, untruth is destroyed by Him,” as state in Rigveda 7.104.12section.

 The Divine Mother is the Truth Herself.
