That is, you are the form of sound, and you are the foundation of the Samaveda, which is replete with the recitation of the extremely pure Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Udgitha. You are the Triple Goddess and the Divine Lady (possessing all six opulences). For the creation and maintenance of this world, you have appeared in the form of news the flow of sustenance, and you destroy the pain of the entire world. This is the reason why the fire element, air element, and solar element are discussed in the contexts of the Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Samaveda during the application original: "viniyoga" of the first, middle, and final characters of the Saptashati, respectively. Having understood this, the meaning of the aforementioned mantra would be:
"O Amba, in the form of the vital fire located on Earth! O Ambika, in the form of the vital air located in the Atmosphere! O Ambalika, in the form of the solar-vitality located in Heaven! I am bowed to obtain your eternal grace. May no miserly, small-minded worldly person (the 'horse-rider') be able to lead me (me) away from the path of liberation, after I have dedicated myself entirely to your feet! Just as the seeker of liberation, who knows this impermanent world and is established in the Supreme Soul (the one who has attained self-realization), truly attains the beneficent, मणिद्वीप Jewel Island resident, or the one draped in colorful silken garments, the Goddess who governs liberation (the beautiful one living in Kampila), in the same way, I am a devotee of the Mother; as a result, I shall soon witness the grace of the Goddess. O Compassionate Mother, have mercy on me. By your blessings, by your favor, everything will be accomplished, because your grace is the only cause for the realization of spiritual truth: 'Whomever I wish, I make him fierce, I make him a creator, a sage, a wise one,' and 'She is Brahman,' as the Shruti says."
In the Vaikritika Rahasya, she is called "decorated with colorful garlands and clothes," and in the Shruti, she is called the "dweller of Kampila." Dr. Suryakant has defined "Kampila-vasini" in his Vedic dictionary as one who wears multicolored silk. In the "Nagendra Prayana Tantra," in the verse "Bhavani, Bhairavi, Bhima, Bhadrakali, Subhadrika," she is also called Subhadrika. Therefore, it can be said that the name Subhadrika is both Vedic and Tantric.
Suffice it to say that the arrangement of the Saptashati has been done keeping in mind both the Vedic and Agamic traditions. The spirit of the said mantra is purely Shakta, and it is this that has been expanded in the Agamas.
