她被宣说为在宇宙初始之时，由原初的根本自性——Mūlaprakṛti（根本自然）而生。又因诸位悉地者（Siddha）礼敬供奉她，故她名为“悉地母”（Siddhāmbikā）。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating
Tirtha: Siddhāmbikā
Type: temple
Scene: Siddhāmbikā appears as a serene primordial Devi emerging from a cosmic lotus/Prakṛti field; around her, siddhas offer worship, and a caption-like motif explains her name derived from siddha ārādhanā.
FAQs
