The Vedas said: ’Obeisance to the Devī! to Mahā-māyā, the Auspicious One, the Creatrix of the Universe! We bow down to Thee who is beyond the guṇas, the Ruler of all Beings! O Mother! Thou givest to Śaṅkara even His desires. Thou art the receptacle of all things; Thou art the prāṇa of all the living beings; Thou art buddhi (intelligence), Lakṣmī (wealth), śobhā (beauty), kśamā (forgiveness), śānti (peace), śraddhā (faith), medhā (intellect), dhṛti (fortitude), and smṛti (recollection).
55. Thou art the bindu (the dot signifying the nasal termination ṁ) over the prāṇava (āūṁ) and thou art of the nature of the crescent moon; Thou art Gāyatrī, Thou art vyāhṛti (the invocations of the names of the seven planetary systems: bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ, svaḥ, mahaḥ, janaḥ, tapaḥ and satya); Thou art Jayā and Vijayā (guards of the gates of Vaikuṇṭhaloka), dhātri (the support), lajjā (modesty), kīrti (fame), icchā (will) and dayā (mercy) in all beings.
56-57. O Mother! Thou art the merciful Mother of the three worlds; Thou art the adorable auspicious vidyā (knowledge) benefitting all the lokas; Thou destroyest the Universe and Thou skilfully residest hidden in the bīja-mantras. Therefore we are praising Thee. O Mother! Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, Indra, Sūrya, Fire, Sarasvatī and other Regents of the Universe are all Thy creation; so none of them is superior to Thee. Thou art the Mother of all the things, moving and non-moving.
