bandhamocani : Remover of bonds.

 

Bandha, bonds of ignorance or prison.

 

In the Harivamsa, Aniruddha say, "O Samkari, thou art praised by these

and other names by me; by thy grace, let me be soon freed from

prison. O large-eyed one, behold, I take refuge in thy feet. You are

to liberate me from every bond.... DurgA, the powerful one, thus

praised, set free the brave Aniruddha, who was confined in the town of

BAna. " Thus the De. BhAg. Pr also [book VI] says, "Once a princess

named EkAvali was imprisoned by a daitya called KAlaketu, and was

freed by Devi who was worshipped by Yasovati, the friend of the

princess"
