The order of the Saptamatrka usually begins with Brahmi symbolizing creation. Then, Vaishnavi. Then, Maheshvari, who resides in the hearts of all beings, breaths in life and individuality. Maheshvari is also known as Raudri, Rudrani and Maheshi.

To control this plague of demons, 惭补丑腻谤耻诲谤补 created 惭腻迟峁沰腻-艢补办迟颈蝉 [viz., 惭腻丑别艣惫补谤墨] and ordered them to drink the blood of the demons and drain them dry.

Like raktab墨ja, every drop of blood that fell from the body of Andhaka created another Asura like him and in no time, the entire world was filled with Andhakas. To destroy the growing number of Andhakas, Rudra created innumerable 惭腻迟峁沰腻-艢补办迟颈蝉 [viz., 惭腻丑别艣惫补谤墨]. These 艢aktis of immense power at once began to drink every drop of blood that flowed from the body of Andhaka, but they could still not effectively contain the emergence of more and more demons.

India history and geography
: Wisdom Library: India HistoryMaheshvari (or, 惭补丑别艣惫补谤墨) refers to one of the 84 castes (gaccha) in the Jain community according to various sources. The associated place of origin is known as Didavane (or, 岣屇笉av膩峁噀). The Jain caste and sub-caste system was a comparatively later development within their community, and it may have arisen from the ancient classification of 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺, 碍峁迟谤颈测补, 痴补颈艣测补 and 艢奴诲谤补. Before distinction of these classes (such as Maheshvari), the society was not divided into distinct separate sections, but all were considered as different ways of life and utmost importance was attached to individual chartacter and mode of behaviour.
According to Dr. Vilas Adinath Sangava, 鈥�Jainism does not recognise castes (viz., Maheshvari) as such and at the same time the Jaina books do not specifically obstruct the observance of caste rules by the members of the Jaina community. The attitude of Jainism towards caste is that it is one of the social practices, unconnected with religion, observed by people; and it was none of its business to regulate the working of the caste system鈥� ().
The legendary account of the origin of these 84 Jain castes (e.g., Maheshvari) relate that once a rich Jain invited members of the Jain community in order to establish a 惫补颈艣测补-尘补丑腻蝉补产丑腻 (i.e. Central Association of Traders). In response, 84 representatives came from different places (e.g., Didavane), and they were later seen as the progenitors of these castes. Various sources however mention differences in the list.
