The Secret Doctrine of Goddess Lalita
(Sri LalitaAṣṭottara Rahasyārthamu)
15. anēkakōṭi brahmāṇḍa jananī
She who is the creator of the multitude of worlds.
Consciousness pervades every object internally and externally. Therefore, the essential nature of this entire universe of sentient and insentient objects is śakti. This mantra explains how śakti manifests as the sentient and insentient world.
brahmāṇḍa means space. There are innumerable objects, such as the sun, moon, stars, and planets, contained in space. Humans inhabit one such space called the earth and are completely absorbed in it. There are countless such spaces and universes. Human mind will draw a blank if it tries to imagine the number of objects contained in each universe. One can only marvel at the power of Consciousness that effortlessly manifests these universes. It is beyond human capacity to describe the magnificence of śakti. Only śakti can describe Her splendor.
