This Lion is your mind; if it is uncontrolled — it rides over you and makes you suffer. The Devi is the energy, which controls the mind, when this energy isn’t taken care of, the Lion starts riding over you.

When Devi, this energy, is strong it tames the Lion and uses it. The weapons in the Devi’s hand show the awareness and the demons she kills are the thoughts; whenever the thoughts arise, with the awareness, Devi kills the thoughts.

The Devi, this energy is none other than the power which drives your mind and body, which is the source of everything; which takes care of you while you are in dreaming, sleeping or in wakeful state. Serve this Devi well, if you want to take control of your thoughts; otherwise, Lion is capable to make much havoc.
