Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Srividya : Sacred Science. Or, the PaNcadasi-mantra. The Visnu Pr. Says, "O fair one, the sacrificial science, exalted science, secret science, and spiritual science. O Devi, thou art all these, the bestower of salvation; also thou art Logic, Trayi, VArtA, trade and justice." The commentators on the above say : The meaning of the first four are : Science of action, devotion to deities, the science of mantras, and the science of Brahman, VArtA, architecture, medicine etc. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Mantras such as srI BAlA, paNcadasI, and sodasI are called srI-vidyA, and they are Her letter form. The bIja srI is important in mantrAs that propitiate Her, and hence She is called srI-vidyA. - Dr. C.
