She is the giver of the limitless bliss (of release) in which there is no body consciousness.

The word nirvana means nir- freed, vana= (by bavayorabhedah) also bana=body. In the Sruti, on the word girvana the word is explained as body by the Vedantins and by the Mimamsakas. Thus the word nirvana means without body, i.e., indescribable bliss. She is the giver of that bliss.
