Lalita Sahasranama # 287

Nijajnarupanigama

nijam (=svayam) ajnam (vedavidbhihsabdabhava-natvena vyavahrtam) rupayanti it nijajna rupah; tadrsah nigamah (=karmakandatmakah vedah) yasyah sa

The Vedas explain her commands

1)Her ajna, i.e., order becomes intelligible to the knower through the words ( i.e., what the meaning and practical direction of particular karma are) by giving real meaning and praise (i.e., arthavada) etc.
2) The word nigama may mean her the teachings assisted by the Agamas. There are twenty eight Saiva tantras beginning with kamika which follows the Vedas. They are not opposed to the Vedas. They are meant by the word nigama. As they sprang from the mouth of Paramesvara they are said to be the command of the Goddess
