LalithA SahasranAma [757] ksarAksarAtmikA

[Guest guest]

ksarAksarAtmikA : Perishable and imperishable.

 

Ksara, multiform, aksara, syllables, Atma, her body; ie she is one-

syllabled and also many-syllabled. The VarAha Pr. says, "Though Devi

is all-syllabled, yet she is called one-syllabled, she is the ruler of

the universe, she alone is all-syllabled."

 

or, ksara is applied to all beings aksara to KUtastha [Lord], she is

borh [vide Bh-gitA. XV. 16]

 

The BhArata says, "Being and non-being [sat and asat] are called ksara

and aksara" The Vi. BhAg. Pr. says, "There are three forms of Visnu

called purusas, those who know say, the first is the creator of the

mahat, the second is the mundane egg, the third is what resides in all

beings, by knowing these one is released"

She is both eternal and destructible.

 

This phenomenal Universe, which has an end, and the Eternal Self

called kUtasthA, which has no end, are both Her forms.

Sahasranama, 1962
