Lalita Sahasranama # 386

Sadangadevatayukta

1) sad (=avayavakani) angani, tesam devatabhih yukta (=avrta)
She, who is encircled by the deities of the six limbs.

These six limbs are heart, head. tuft, eyes, armour and weapon. She is encircled by the saktis belonging to these limbs.

According to Jna, one should worship these surrounding deities.

2) sadanganam (=adhisthatri) devata (=mahesvara eva), tena yukta

She is accompanied by Mahesvara, the presiding deity of the six limbs

According to DeBhP, these six limbs are explained as sarvajnata (omniscence), trpti (sense of completeness), anadi bodha (eternal consciousness), svatantrata (freedom), aluptasakti (unfading power) and anantata (infinity)

3) She is accompanied by the presiding deities of auxiliary sciences

According to this interpretation, the word sadangas means the six vedangas and hence, 'She is joined by the deities of Vedangas means that She is the form of then Vedas'
