Śubhasārasa (शुभसारस) refers to “auspicious lotuses”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.5.—Accordingly, as Menā eulogised Śivā (i.e., Umā/Durgā):—“I bow to the great goddess, the bestower of all desires, I bow to her who wields great illusion, the creator and sustainer of the universe. I bow to her of contemplative sleep, and to her the wielder of great illusion and the cause of permanent bliss. I bow to the mother of the universe. I bow to Siddhā having the garland of auspicious lotuses [i.e., śubhasārasa-mālinī]. [...]”.
