Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 840: Shri Mula vigraha rupini (ōṃ mūlavigraharūpiṇyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the root form of everything in this universe.

She created this universe; She is the root for every being and thing in this universe. For life, water is an important of the five basic elements. Water is in various forms (ice, water, steam and vapour).  Water is in various places in the universe, in rivers, in ponds, in lakes, in streams, and in the sea. In fact, water makes up more than three quarters of earth’s surface.

The Water Cycle explains water from the sea takes various forms and ultimately merges in the sea. From sea through evaporation and condensation clouds form. Water in the clouds come down to earth as rain.  Rainwater accumulates in ponds in streams and rivers. Ultimately the rivers flow into seas and merge with them,. Similarly, the various forms of the Divine Mother have names such as Para Shakti, Bala, Bahala, Shyamala, Shambhavi, Durga, and Raja Rajeshwari. Since She takes these various forms sportingly, She is called Lalitha ambika. All these forms are from same one root or Mulavigraha of the Divine Mother

Our human mind is based on three gunas. We cannot comprehend that formless power of the Divine Mother. We worship Her in diverse forms and images. Of all the forms, Raja Rajeshwari is root or Mulavigraha. This Namam confirms the Divine Mother as Raja Rajeshwari or Mulavigraha Rupini.

The Divine Mother is the root form of 

everything in this universe.
