Raaga swarupa Pashadhya Korodhakara ankushojwala
Mano rupekshu kodanda; Pancha tanmatra sayaka
holding fast to a whip, which is metaphor for likes and attachments
a goad that is metaphor for dislikes and severance
a sugarcane as unstrung bow of her mind
a clutch of arrow buds as metaphor for five sensory bots
- A thousand names of Lalita
Though there are many temples for Dewi, it is in Kanchi that she is idolised with noose, goad, sugarcane and floral arrows - as described in opening verses of Lalita's thousand names.
She sits without consort, as reigning queen, receiving six ritualistic worships in the course of a day, to shower grace upon her worshipers.
- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
