Rajomayī (रजोमयी) refers to “consisting of Rajas”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī: “[...] You are indeed the subtle primordial nature consisting of Rajas [e.g., rajomayī], Sattva and Tamas. You are capable of perpetual activity. You are both possessed and devoid of attributes. O slender-waisted lady, of all living beings I am the soul without abberation without yearnings. I take up bodies at the requests and wishes of my devotees. [...]”.
