B. kAma means knowledge [ prajNana ]. The Sruti says : `What is called the heart and the mind are perception [ saMjNAna ], command, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, seeing, holding, thinking, considering, readiness [ or suffering ] remembering, conceiving, willing, breathing, loving, desiring ; know all these are only various names of knowledge' In the said sruti the word prajNAna means Siva only. The SutasaMhita also supports this explanation. `VijNana, which is Samkara, is known by the learned under many names. Some say it is the heart… some othe rtheists call it control [ vaSya ]. But all these simply denote Siva' C. Kama denotes the Lord who desires [ Kama ] to create the universe. The Br. Up says `There was Atman only in the beginning. He desired…. Thus for the desire [ Kama ]' Hence the word Kama does not mean here Rudra or Manmatha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Thank you kochu. Some of you might be wondering as to what is this all about. Jaimaa108 and me have been using the LalitA-SahasranAm with BhAskararAya's commentary, Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry. We discovered that there are several printing errors in this text, thanks to Arjuna who pointed it out to us. Right now I will continue to post from the book and cross reference with the one we have in the homepage. Kochu will correct if there is any mistakes. Eventually we will summarises them all into one post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
