In Devi Mahatmyam, Trimurti and demigods praises Adi Shakti: She is the Great Goddess, and all other goddesses and even all the Gods are her various forms, says the Devi Gita. In her Saguna form she is described as the Mother of the Universe and is residing in Sarvaloka Manidweepa above all of the other realms. The Goddess Adi Parashakti is also considered to be both the truly supreme spirit without form (Param Atman) and Saguna with form. It mentioned that Shiva worshipped and meditated on Adi Parashakti for thousands of years, using the beeja mantra 'Hreem'. The Devi Bhagavata Purana described her in the form of Bhuvaneshvari. Ultimately, Adi Shakti herself is the zero energy which exists even after destruction of the universe and before its creation. The goddess Parvati as Kushmanda gives birth to the universe in the form of an cosmic egg which manifests as the universe. She then displayed her scarcely seen form to him: Satyaloka was located in her forehead the created universe were her hairs the sun and moon were her eyes in her ears were the four directions the Vedas were her words death, affection and emotion were her teeth maya was manifested by her smile. She is a manifested, un-manifested and transcendent divinity. She is the only victor and the manifestation of victory itself. She explained herself, in the words of the Vedas, as having neither beginning nor end. In the Devi Gita, it is suggested that before incarnating as Parvati, she appeared to King Himalaya and revealed divine, eternal knowledge to him. She is considered to be simultaneously the source of all creation, its embodiment and the energy that animates and governs it, and that into which everything will ultimately dissolve. Shaktas conceive the Goddess as the supreme, ultimate, eternal reality of all existence, or same as the Brahman concept of Hinduism. Skanda Purana and Markandeya Purana talks about Parvati as divine mother of all creation and truest material form of Adi Shakti. Linga Purana states that Adi Shakti brings forth the evolution of life in every Universe through the union of every Parvati and Shiva in all of the Universes. Shiva Purana says Adi Parashakti incarnated in materialistic form as Parama Prakriti from the left half of Lord Shiva i.e.Parabrahman during the beginning of the Universe. 4 Association with demi-gods, living beings, and demons.3 Association with the Ten incarnations of Vishnu.2 Association with the nine planets ( navagrahas).
