70. lakShakoTyaNDanAyikA

SHE who is the leader of the countless Universes.

lakSha here means innumerable of countless and aNDa refers to brahmANDa-s.
Since saMsAra is without beginning, the aNDa-s belonging the past, present
and future are innumerable. They are the hiraNyagarbha or virAT in their
integral form; vishva and taijasa in their individual form or limitations.
All these Universes are HER limitations or upAdhi-s (see *), SHE is the
leader of these countless Universes. SHE is the basic Awareness, HER
reflection on them confers HER reality to them.

these three kind of upAdhi-s, Ishvara is known ar vaishvAnara,
hiraNyagrabha and mAyAvi respectively. Similarly jIva is known as vishva,
taijasa and prAj~nA.
