Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 visvatomukhi :Facing every way. The Sruti [sve., III. 3] says, "Having eyes and mouths on all sides". When a form is created by devotees through meditation then alone does she become manifest as the passages show, ,"Having hands, feet on all sides, and eyes, mouths and head everywhere" The other passages such as "He has no hand or feet, etc." speak in the real sense. Hence there is no contradiction in the above passages. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.
