Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 514 Shri Muladharambujarudha (ōṃ mūlādhārāmbujārūḍhāyai namaḥ)

In Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms.

The Divine Mother as Sakini yogin is residing in the Muladhara chakra on a four -petaled lotus.  She is surrounded by four amrta (immorality) shaktis. 

In general, the devotee is not to meditate on Muladhara, Svadhishtana and Manipuraka chakra Devis. If he does, then his worldly needs and desires will only come to his mind. Higher level thinking will not appear here. He ought to keep his favourite deity in his Anhata chakra lotus and meditate. For example, to build a house, foundation is needed which is not in view and nobody looks for it in a house; likewise, the first three chakra meditation is not normally recommended. 

Four-petaled lotus in Muladhara is the base for the Kundalini in the anal for the humans. Sakini Devi’s abode is in there. 

She is meditated on as follows: We meditate on Sakini, who resides on four-petaled Muladhara lotus. Five faced, three eyed, smoke coloured, presiding over the bones in living beings. She is having in Her hands the goad, lotus, book, and gyana mudra (the sign of Knowledge). She is attended by gentle Varada and three other deities. She is fond of eating mudga beans and drinking mead. 

Achariya Adi Sankara in his Soundarya Lahari verse 41 explained the Muladhara chakra details, as shown in refence 4 below.

You two. You are compassionate and have creation as your objective. 41

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 510 Shri Madhu prita (ōṃ madhuprītāyai namaḥ)

The people who drink limited amount of Madhu or intoxicating drink have good digestion; their body is strengthened. In Tantric Devi worship sect, they prepare Madhu as a medicine; so deep meditation is possible for them. Madhu helps the body which is praised as the Divine Mother’s action.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 509 Shri Medo nistha (ōṃ mēdōniṣṭhāyai namaḥ)

In Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms. 

The Divine Mother as Kakini yogin is residing in the Svadhisthana chakra in six-petaled lotus. She is living in the body fat of the universal beings. 

Kakini Devi controls medas or fat in living beings. Fat is required for a growing living body. For any machine, the moving parts should be lubricated. There will be no friction if the oily lubricant is present. The human being without fat is considered a dried object. The one with inadequate self-physical power is called a useless person; ideally such smallness should not come from the body fat content. However, when such fat increases beyond a certain acceptable level, the individual gets pride. 

The fat in acceptable level in a human is due to divine grace, which will lead for the individual to seek limited pride. When he overcomes such limited pride to reach higher level; so, the fat is important for humans. Lower-level fat can be corrected to right level. Once the fat is used properly, the human being improves in maturity. This is the basic reason; the Divine Mother is residing in the fat of universal beings to show to Her devotees. 

Body fat converts into medas. It has a slightly yellow mixed reddish colour. The Divine Mother is controlling such medas in all universal beings.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 508 Shri Ati garvita (ōṃ atigarvitāyai namaḥ)

In Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms. 

The Divine Mother as Kakini yogin is residing in the Svadhishtana chakra in six-petaled lotus. She is very proud, about Her weapons and captivating beauty. 

Being proud is not to be praised. This leads to lower maturity and resulting impurities are not fully recovered in the end. The poor man does not become proud due to his poverty. But the wealthy becomes proud for his wealthy status. Maturity is important in life. Wealth is due to his efforts, but he is also proud due to his achievement of wealth. Being proud is considered inferior quality but the pride had come about due to his efforts, which is indirectly the grace of the divinity, the Divine Mother. 

Universal beings, forms of the Divine Mother, due to the Divine Mother’s divinity in them get their pride. This is acceptable in general and not against the Divine Mother. “I am not useful” pulls an individual to a lower level. But if someone considers the good qualities in him, that attitude takes him further up; such proud quality is acceptable. The humans having proud quality is considered the blessings of the Divine Mother. The devotee must surpass such proud quality to reach higher maturity. Being proud Herself, the Divine Mother is teaching that being proud to people to go beyond to higher plane of maturity. This is one of the lessons in this Namam “Ati garvita”.
