She is the supreme power, the science of Shambhu¹. She is Maha Tripura Sundari, being associated with space, time and objects. She pervades the three cities, the three bodies (gross, subtle, and causal), both with reference to the individual and the cosmic counterpart. She is the Atman. Other than Her is untruth (non-self). As Maha Tripura Sundari, She assumes all forms. She is Brahman-consciousness free from even the slightest tinge of being and non-being. What is, is pure being: what shines is pure consciousness.
