Meaning:

In this 43rd verse, Śrī Lalitā appears as the serene and self-luminous Divine Mother —
pure, peaceful, and untouched by any imperfection.

As Śākarī, She is Śiva’s own consciousness and prāṇa–śakti;
as Śrīkarī, She magnifies goodness, prosperity, and auspicious qualities in Her devotees;
as Śaraccandranibhānanā, Her moonlike radiance cools sorrow, clears confusion, and brings mental stability;
as Śāntimatī, She is the embodiment of deep inner peace, clarity, and wisdom;
as Nirādhārā, She is the supportless support — the foundation of all beings;
as Nirañjanā, She is utterly pure, removing sorrow, loss, and blemishes of the mind.

She is both the source of stability and the remover of negativity —
a gentle light that purifies, nourishes, and supports life.

Meditation:

This verse invites us to rest in the Mother’s stillness.

Meditating on Her as Śākarī connects us to divine awareness;
as Śāntimatī, She brings calmness, clarity, and wisdom;
as Śaraccandranibhānanā, She cools the mind and heals inner turmoil;
as Śrīkarī, She fills life with auspiciousness;
as Nirādhārā–Nirañjanā, She reminds us that the Divine within needs no support — it is complete, pure, and self-sustaining.

She teaches that serenity is strength, clarity is compassion, and peace is the true nature of the soul.

In Her presence, we release dependence on the outer world and rest in the unshakable purity of our inner light.
