Here there is no direct reference to samharam. Sree math simhasaneswari - (One who sits on the simhasanam and manages) Samharam. At that time they will be called 'pancha prEtam' that is life less bodies.

Sometimes, Devi will take away the life from these 5 brahmmam and make them inactive, performing all the 5 tasks by herself. Lalitha has designated the five functions to these brahmmams. This 5 entity (Brahmma, Vishnu, Rudra, Easwara and Sadasiva) are known as 'pancha brahmmam'. This means - Devi is doing shrishti as Brahmma, sthithi as Vishnu (Govinda), samhara as Rudra, thirodhanam as Eeswara and anugruham as Sadasiva. Devi herself has been described as 'pancha kruthya parAyanA' in the sloka and the five tasks are described as follows: They are - shrishti (Creation), sthithi (Protection), samhAram (Destruction), thirOdhAnam (Hiding) and anugraham (Blessing). The sloka is organised based on the 5 works ( pancha kruthyam). Lalita sahasrama however does not make any use of such auxiliary conjunctions and is therefore unique in being a pure enumeration of holy names that meet the metrical, poetical and mystic requirements of a sahasranama solely by their order throughout the text.

Further, in order to maintain the metre, sahasranamas use the artifice of adding words like tu, api, ca, and hi, which are only conjunctions not necessarily needed for the meaning except in rare cases of interpretation. Lalita sahasranama has the unique distinction, among all the sahasranamas, of not repeating even a single name.

Usually, in a sahasranamam, if the same name repeats, the commentators use their scholarship and inspiration to give different meanings to different occurrences of the same name (this practise occurs also in Jewish Talmudic commentary). Some of the modes of worship are parayana (Recitations), archana, homa etc. This Sahasranama is used in various modes for the worship of the Divine Mother. Lalita Sahasranama names the various attributes of the Divine Mother, and all these names are organised in the form of a hymn. It is a principal text of Shakti worshippers. Lalita Sahasranamam is held as a sacred text for the worship of the Divine Mother, Lalita, and is also used in the worship of Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Bhagavathi, etc. The slokas are organised in such a way that, Devi is described from 'Head to Feet' (kEsAdhi pAdham). This depicts us the truth 'One can worship Lalitha only if she wishes us to do so'. The 8 vaag devis are - Vasini, Kameshwari, Aruna, Vimala, Jayinee, Modhinee, Sarveshwari, Koulini.

Lalitha sahasranama was composed by 8 vaag devis (vaag devathas) upon the command of Devi Sri Lalitha. It is a dialogue between Hayagriva, an ( avatara) of Maha Vishnu and the great sage Agastya. This hymn occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. The names are organised as in a hymn, i.e.
