[Guest guest]

SAradArAdhyA : Worshipped by Sarada.

 

 

SAradA, sarasvati, and the spring, or in the rainy season [sarada].

The Mark. Pr. Says, "She should be worshippe in the spring and in

the rainy season." The RudrayAmala says, "The raktadandikA [

an aspect of Devi] should be worshipped during the nine days in

spring."

 

Or Sarada, the clear minded men; or according to the Medinikosa it

means, one of the states of life [Asrama] called Salina.

 

Or according to the AnekArthadhvanimaNjari, "A means Vasudeva and

A BrahmA." She is to be worshipped by the great [sarada] Visnu and

BrahmA. The KalikA Pr. Explains the word Sarada thus: "Once upon

a time in spring, in the ninth day, you were awakened by the Devas;

hence you are known, in the world as well as in the sear, by the

name SaradA."
