LalithA SahasranAma [467] sUksmarUpini

[Guest guest]

sUksmarUpini : Of subtle form

 

Suksma, difficult to perceive. The Sruti [Kai. Up., 16]: "Subtler than

the subtle, eternal." [Katha Up. II. 20] : "More minute than an atom"

 

 

Or, Sukma is the name of a kind of homa [oblation].

The Tantraraja says, "In the eternal and perishable centre of the

MUlAdhaAra, there is a fire... Thus there are twelve kinds of home

corresponding to the letters, as mentioned"

 

Or, as said above [vide no.6. comm.] there are three forms, physical,

subtle and supreme [ and this refers to the second one].
