The VarAha Pr. says, when Devi in the form of the creative Sakti was performing in the Sveta mountain, BrahmA said, "Ask a boon" Devi replied, "O holy one, I cannot bear to remain in one place, hence I beg of you to grant me the boon of omnipresence. Thus asked, BrahmA then replied to the Creative Devi, O thou of all forms, thou shalt become omnipresent," Of all forms, that is separate from her. Omnipresent, your qualified forms will be all bodies or you will become the soul of all. The Devi pr. also, "O great wise one, this is the true established doctrine about Devi, she is certainly the Vedas, sacrifices, heaven; all this universe, animate and inanimate, is pervaded by Devi. She is sacrificed to and she is worshipped, she is food and drink. Everywhere Devi is present under different forms and names as in the trees, in the earth, wind, ether, water, fire. Thus, this Devi is ever to be worshipped according to the rules; one who thus knows here, will be absorbed into her" BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi every one The name 'Sarvaga' reminds me of one famous Rik which occurs in Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Maha Narayanopanishad and a couple of other Upanishads: "Hamsah suchishad, Vasurantarikshasad, Hotaavedishad, adithirduronasad; Nrshad, Varasad, Rtasad, Vyomasad, Abja, Goja, Rtaja, Adrija, Rtam Brhat."
