Lalita Sahasranama # 448

Svastimati

1) Susthu astih (=satta)= svastih, tadvati

According to this interpretation, the word su means good, asti being mat=having. THis the name means she is the Absolute Reality beyond the manifestations that are only empirically real.

2) The word svasti according to Yaska means immortal. According to Ratnakosa the word means benediction, benevolence, etc. She may be identical with that.
