Lalita Sahasranama # 289

Srutisimantasindurikrtapadabjadhulika

srutinam simantah (=urdhvasamyadupnisadam bhagah) tesu sinduravat (= antargatarahasyarthavat) krta padabjadhulih (caranakamalayoh rajah) yaya sa
The dust of whose feet form a mark of vermillion of the head of the vedas (i.e., Upanishads)

The Vedas have two parts, Karmakanda and Brahmakanda. In the preceding names, Karmakanda and its fruits were explained, from here onwards the explanation of Brahmakanda is given. The word dhuli (dust) is used here to indicate the vedas (i.e., Upanishads) are unable to explain the real nature and the form of the Goddess (i.e., the highest being). Hence the method of negation to describe the supreme form is accepted.
