India Later She was called Vaishnavi because of Her taking birth from Lord Vishnu's lineageMa Vaishno Devi was called Trikuta as a child. When Trikuta was 9 years old, She sought her father's permission for doing penance on the seashore. Trikuta prayed to Lord
Vishnu in the form of
Rama. During Shree
Rama's search for
Sita, He reached the seashore along with His army. His eyes fell on this Divine Girl in deep meditation. Trikuta told Shree
Rama that She had accepted Him as Her husband. Shree
Rama told Her that during this
Incarnation He had vowed to be faithful to only
Sita. However pleased with her devotion , Lord Rama gave her name vaishnavi (devotee of lord rama (Maha Vishnu)and assured Her that in
Kaliyuga He would manifest as
Kalki and would marry Her.
