         Vaak Devis are the deities, who always worship mother with all her mantras so they know mother's power. When mother orders them to compose lalita sahasranaam. Vaak devis first composed Mothers dhyana sloka, which we are going through it now.

         Her complexion is red and all things associated with Her are red. She is the embodiment of beauty. In one hand She holds a cup made of ruby, filled with honey and in another hand, She holds a red-colored flower. She is keeping Her red-colored foot on a pot containing rubies.

         Now here it is said that Mother has a complexion of red and all things associated with her are red and she is beautiful. Holding red flowers and keeping the red foot on a ruby pot. The red color is the representation of strength, health, lifeforce, vigor, love of friendship and healthy sports, emotional love, passion, pure love, and caring for a loved one.

         Hence Mother is full of love and due to this, she takes a very beautiful form. Holding a cup filled with honey. Honey represents giving prosperity to her sadhaka and her all children. The whole universe is her child and the animals living in there are all her children. To make them prosper in their spiritual and material life she shows a cup filled with honey.

         And the ruby pot represents all-around success in everyone's life. She is ready to make you like the king of your life. She is also called rajarejeshwari hence she will make you like her if you sincerely worship her with this dhyana sloka.

         Mother, red color is shown as a rising sun and she has three eyes. Here the comparison of mothers form is made up with the rising sun. It means the mother's form is young, always, and forever. Her three eyes represent knowledge giver to her devotees whoever worships her. Eyes also represent the sun, moon, and fire qualities of a mother. Because these three tattvas are essential to run the universe.

         Mother is wearing a crown of very precious rubies, high-quality rubies. And the king of stars, the moon is shown on mother's crown. It is shown here that all the nakshatra mandala is under the control of the mother and she alone manages them all.

         She always has a charming and loving smile on her face. She has developed blossom. It represents the capacity of nourishment of all universes. Hence she looks very beautiful uncomparable in this universe.

         She is shown with two hands in this sloka. This form of Mother is Para form means ultimate highest form of Mother. Devotees remembering this form is capable of giving salvation and four types of Mukti mentioned as per scriptures.
