Vasinyaadi Vaagdevis praising Parasakthi that She is being worshiped by Maarthanda Bairavan. Having fullest satisfaction towards Her Prime Minister Manthrini Devi's administration in Sripuram. Parasakthi is the Goddess for all including Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra lokas. She is endowed with one of the rarest battalion to fight against any odd situation and eventually Her troops will win the battle. She is beyond words, imaginations and indivisible from Sadha-Siva. She was referred as "Para-apara" means state of Siva and Sakthi confluence. Neither She wants individuality nor detached from Her beloved Siva.She does everything to protect Her devotees.

Let me explain more in detail:

Sripuram has 25 Prakaras (Districts). In each Prakaram, a special devotee is worshiping Her with a specific duty to perform so that the administration of the Universe run smoothly. In that order, 22 and 23rd Prakaram is occupied by Marthanda Bhairavan, a divine child of Adhithi and Kasyapa Rishi. Marthanda Bhairavan is as good as Lord Soorya. Bhairava will ensure protection to all devotees at the right time even without asking his help, that is why he is known as Bhairavan. 

Parasakthi's Prime Minister is also known as Manthrini or Raja Syamala Devi who has been endowed with a special Mudrika (Ring) as the seal of Sripuram. Manthrini devi is deputy to Parasakthi. Another aspect of this Manthra is that it gives a secret meaning that the one who chant Parasakthi's Namam will be as close to Parasakthi herself. Manthrini means the one who chant the mantra of Goddess or well versed with spiritual knowledge and experience. Here the knowledge is not just academic education, but,spiritual knowledge combined with practical experience and sadhana. A devotee's spiritual knowledge and experience comes from these four subjects viz. Maithra, Karuna, Santhosha and Upeksha. Who could be Manthrini other than Her own devotees! In other words Parasakthi will be satisfied with Her true devotee's life style. In summary, every devotee is considered to be Parasakthi's Manthrini itself. 

As said earlier, Sri Puraam has 25 Prakarams,. in that 16 Chakra Dhalams (16 Districts) are more prominent and the entry point to Sri Puram or Sri Chakram. Out of these 16 Chakras, the 9th Chakra is occupied and ruled by Tripuresi Devi. There are 9 most important divine mothers (Nava Chakreswaris). All these Charas or Districts can be identified within our body itself, like how it is placed in the Brahmandam. A mother undergo 9 months of pregnancy with different experiences to finally deliver a beautiful baby as gift of her own. Lots of hardships and happiness prevailed during these period. At the 16th age, the baby becoming an adult and start entering into real life for another 8 years of training, which is the next 8 Dhalas in Sri Chakram (by now, the the person is 24 years old). The life keep going on until the completion of life-span. A person's full life span is 120+ years in Kali Yuga. All these 120 years of life with different experiences are enjoyed by one Bindu Paraskathi who is none other than the Aathma / Jeevan or Soul. According to Sri Chakram diagram, it has 40 Thrikonas and 1 Bindhu. All these Thrikonas are representing one Life-tron surrounded by Neutron, Proton and Electron. We all know from the Vignaanam (Science) that when you try to see the parts of Atoms (Anus) we will come across lots of Thrikonas and Chathurkonas joining each other.   

A single element (Parasakthi - Bindhu) is manifested in to many to start universal creation.The order is from Bindu till Prapancham. (Avyaktha Prakruthi - Vyaktham Mahath - Budhi - Ahamkaram - Manas - Chitham - Pancha Bhoothas - Pancha Thanmathras - Thri Gunas and Prapancha). Finally the divine mother created Her dearest children to enjoy these facilities and the children to reciprocate with gratitude towards Divine Mother. In the Srushti Kriya (Creation process) one Bindu turned into 9 Chakreswaris then 10 Indriyas, then 5 Pranas, then 5 Bhoothas, then 10 Vishayas, and finally 4 Antha Karanas to form a Sareeram (Body). Whereas, all these depending on 3 Gunas to quantify as well as qualify the creation. However, the divine mother is beyond these types of estimations. Only through realization this can be understood.

Devotees get good amount of weapons to fight any types of add situations in life. Such weapons are none other than Manthra-Thanthra-Yanthra. Those who practice and make use of these weapons, will always conquer every battle in life. 

A confluence of Para and Apara is known as ParaaApara state. In fact these are the state or characteristics of Para Brahman. Therefore, Parasakthi being Para Brahman undoubtedly occupy the state of ParaaApara. Now let me list down few aspects or views of Para and Apara that will make you more clear on this topic.
