Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 sampradAyesvari : Fount of traditional [wisdom] [Objection] How, in the absence of special authority, can all qualities except the parAhamtA, be said to be imaginary? Rahter all the qualities must be unreah and false. [Answer] SampradAya, the wisdom regularly [sam] imparted [pradAya] to the disciples [by the teachers] : Isvari ruling. This [knowledge] is arrived at by reason and by tradition. Just as ether and other qualities are attributed to Brahman which is without attributes, again of the ether, etc, when predicated of Brahman, sound, substance, etc are attributed, again, when these are predicated of Brahman, other qualities are attributed to them, similarly, as in Brahman, which is without attributes both the visible qualities and the things which are qualified are attributed, one thing becomes both quality and possessor of quality. Here Siva is qualified, Sakti is the quality. This is to be known by tradition alone. Those who possess the tradition say that Brahman itself is the Sakti. SampradAya may mean, also the sampradAya meaning of PaNcadasi as explained in the Yoginihrdaya [iI. 15] and in the dattAtreya-samhitA. We have said concerning our book, VarivasyArahasya this "SampradAya meaning" is more fitted to the KAdividyA. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 She is the Queen of the Tradition. The knowledge of Srividya is to be obtained through a competent Guru who conveys the traditional wisdom to the disciple. The identity between Sakti and Siva cannot be realized by mere book knowledge, but only by the grace of a competent Guru, who will help the disciple have IstadevatA-Siddhi. She is the Queen or the Ruler/Controller of that traditional lore, which She imparts to the devotee in the form of the Guru. An additional reading of Sampradaya in this usage yields the BhAratI, Parama-Mansa, ParivrAjaka tradition of religious tradition propounded by Sri Adi Sankara. She controls this discipline also. - Dr. C. Suryanarayana Murthy, Commentary on the Sri Lalita Sahasranama, 1962 - Dr. C.
