nAmarUpavivarjitA : Transcending name and form.

 

There are five forms of the universe which appear inextricable

intertwined in the knot of spirit and matter. These are as analysed

by great men as "existence, knowledge, bliss, name and form". The

first three belong to Brahman and the other two belong to the world.

As the latter two, name and form are illusory, she transcends them.

 

The meaning is that in reality there is no union between being and

non-being. The ChA. Up [VII.14.1] says, "ether [brahman] separates

name and form, between them is Brahman." That which remains, when

these two are eliminated by the ether which is the energy of

consciousness, [cit-sakti] is Brahman.

 

 

 

Thus in the SaubhAgyabhAskara composed by BhAsurAnanda, ends the

fourth KalA called Marici, with the third hundred of the names.
