They are made of iron, steel, copper, lead, alloy made of five metals, silver, gold, the white Pushpa raga stone, the red Padmaraga stone. She was given in marriage to Lord Kameshwara and made to stay in Sree Nagara at the top of Maha Meru Mountain.
The heart of Kameshwara, Having knees which looked like crowns made of precious gems, having voluptuous legs, having upper part of the feet resembling the back of tortoise, Having feet which resembled the lamps made of gems which could dispel worries from the mind of devotees and a body with the golden red colour. She was extremely beautiful, having dark thick long hair with scent of Champaka, Asoka and Punnaga flowers, having the musk thilaka on her forehead, Having eyelids which appeared as if it is the gate of the house of God of love,having eyes which were like fish playing in the beauteous lake of her face, Having nose with studs which shined more than the stars, Having ears with sun and moon as studs, having cheeks which were like mirror of Padmaraga, Having beautiful rows of white teeth, Chewing Thamboola with camphor, having voice sweeter than the sound emanating from Veena of Sarswathi, Having such a beautiful smile that Lord Shiva himself could not take his eyes off, Wearing Mangala soothra and necklaces with beautiful shining dollars, Having breasts which were capable of buying the invaluable love of Kameswara, having row of faint beautiful hair raising from her belly, having stomach with three pretty folds, wearing red silk tied with a string with red bells.
From the fire rose Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari. The devas then sought the advice of Sage Narada who advised them to conduct a fire sacrifice. From the ashes came Bhandasura Who made all the world as impotent and ruled from the city called Shonitha pura. Heeding for their request Paramashiva stared at the ashes of Manmatha. The Devas and Rathi Devi the wife of Manmatha requested Paramashiva to give life to Manmatha. Paramashiva woke up and opened his third eye and burnt the God of love into ashes. So to wake Shiva from his deep meditation the devas deputed Manmatha, the God of love who shot his flower arrows at The devas faced a very great enemy in Sura Padma who had a boon that he could be killed only by a son of Shiva and Parvathy. Sathi took birth as the daughter of the mountain(Parvathy) Himalayas and started doing penance on Shiva for getting him as her husband.
However this incident upset Paramashiva and he entered into deep meditation. Consequently at the behest Of Paramashiva Daksha was killed and later given life with a goat’s head. Daksha insulted her husband and she jumped in to the fire and ended her life. However Sathi went to attend the function in spite of Paramashiva’s protest. Daksha and Paramashiva were not getting on well and consequently he did not invite Paramashiva for one of the great fire sacrifices that he conducted. He married Sathi, the daughter of Daksha. Parama shiva is one of the trinity of Hindu pantheons who is in charge of destruction. At his request Hayagreeva taught him the 1000 names of Lalitha. This stotra occurs in Brahmanda purana in the chapter that contains the discussion between Hayagreeva and Agasthya.
