She is Sarasvati, the embodiment of all knowledge, eldest among all beings, and the most auspicious presence in the world. As Yogeshvari, she is the very wisdom of Brahman, profound in understanding and beauty beyond compare. She is known by many sacred names: Svaha, Vishvambhara, Siddhi, Svadha, Medha, Dhriti, and Shruti—each reflecting her manifold aspects. Unborn and radiant, gentle in her demeanor, she delights in enjoyment and bestows joy upon others. Of all beings in the three worlds, none surpass her beauty; she is charming, lovely, and ever moves according to her own divine will. Adorned with a garland of lotuses, she removes the sins of those who seek her, wondrous to behold, with a face crowned in splendor. Her brilliance is like the sun, and as the maiden Kumari, she rides upon the finest peacock, radiating glory. She is Aditi, steadfast and fierce, whose womb is the lotus itself, and who is worthy of the highest union. She bears abundant fruits; her limbs are flawless, she fulfills the desires of her devotees, and she shines even in the darkness of night. She is Kaushiki, the puller, the very night itself, who destroys the suffering of the gods. Ever auspicious, she dispels the distress of her devotees and shatters the cycle of birth and death. Renowned as the song of the Sama Veda, she dwells within the very body of Bhava. She is supreme knowledge, surpassing all, and grants every accomplishment. Without blemish or support, eternally accomplished and free from disease, she is without resolve or affliction, the very essence and giver of humility. She is the great goddess Durga, born from Vasudeva. She is knowledge itself and the object of knowledge, ageless, and the ultimate goal described in the Vedanta. She is the mysterious power of yoga, revealed through her manifestations, the supreme illusion, and most exalted among all. Arising from the sprouting seed, she possesses immense power and profound wisdom. She is transformation itself, belonging to the world, versed in all scriptures, and served by hosts of beings and Gandharvas. She is the great night, blissful to Shiva, Shaci, and the destroyer of evil dreams. As the secret Ambika, she is the origin of all qualities, the great seat, and the daughter of the Maruts. She is the womb and mother of the world, transcending birth, death, and old age. Powerful and steadfast in meditation, she is three-eyed and abides in the heavens. She is the knowledge that ferries souls across the ocean of existence, dissolving the minds of those devoted to Brahman. Golden and resplendent, she is the great night who turns the wheel of worldly existence. She awakens all, endures everything, and witnesses every certainty. The purifier of beings, she is purity itself and destroys the three impurities. Without support or sustenance, she arises from the forest without shoots. She knows the ordering of higher and lower, and is the elder-born of the Great Person. Made of pure knowledge, she is thousand-eyed and born from the thousand-faced one. She is the divine washer, made of essence, all-pervading and radiant, awakening the lotus of consciousness. She is the fortune of the sky, with a lion as her chariot, discerning and of immeasurable radiance. Unstruck and coiled, she is the lotus dwelling within the lotus. As the goddess of speech, she is a portion of Brahman, yet beyond all portions, the very source from which all portions arise. She is the power of space, action, and knowledge—the supreme path itself. She is both undivided and divided in form, the flutist and the one who takes away the flute. She is the sister and the wife of the Blessed Lord, complete and the very doer of time. She is the process, the mother of yoga, the sacred Ganges, and the sovereign of the Lord of the universe. Thus is the great goddess, in all her glory and mystery, ever present, ever compassionate, and ever supreme.
