LalithA SahasranAma [631] divyagandhAdhyA

[Guest guest]

divyagandhAdhyA : Endowed with the divine perfume.

 

Divya, the divine beings such as gods and other animated beings ie.

She is surrounded by celestial things and not like the [ordinary]

kings who surround themselves with terrestrial objects.

 

Or, divyagandha, the perfumes, ie Haricandana etc, For the Sruti [

Tai. Ar., X. 10] says, "Devi possesses perfumes and is not being

easily perceived"

 

According to the Yoga-sUtra [ III. 41] , "From concentration with

reference to the relation between the organ of hearing and ether, a

super-perfect organ of hearing"

 

Similarly with other senses. It is by the favour of Devi one obtains

the divine perfumes, etc.
