Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 933: Shri Mangalakrtih (ōṃ maṅgalākṛtyē namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is in auspicious form. Mangala means auspicious or fortunate.

She always functions in auspicious form. She lives in all universal beings all forms. When the devotee visualizes all Her external forms, they will be able to realize Her within themselves. There is no inauspiciousness for such devotees. The jewelry made of gold is gold in all parts. The whole universe is the Divine Mother’s form. In world life one sees both auspicious and non-auspiciousness things. When the devotee gets the Divine Mother’s grace, he sees all universal things are all the Divine Mother’s forms. Those who have their mind trained in that way are the true devotees of the Divine Mother. Such people can see the universe as auspicious forms of the Divine Mother.

Akrti is measurable form. In Divine Mother’s case, that is auspicious. It gives immense auspiciousness even when we think about the Divine Mother. The Divine Mother’s any action (krti) is auspicious.

     The Divine Mother is in auspicious form.
