Lalita Sahasranama # 155

Nirisvara

na vidyate isvarah yasyah sa

She is without a ruler ( lit., superior). Since she is the ruler of all. She is not under anyone's rule.

Of the two systems of Indian philosophy, the mimamsa and the sankhya, the former is sesvara (with lord), while the latter is nirisvara (without lord). But the goddess belongs to both, hence she is seen as 'without a ruler'
