Nicely Expressed! (LalithA SahasranAma [780] visvatomukhi)

[Guest guest]

"When a form is created by devotees through meditation then alone

does She become manifest as the passages show ..." but in the

real [i.e., Her absolute, unlimited] sense ... She "has no hand or

feet, etc." ...

 

This strikes me as a very tight and efficient expression of how

She is; am I alone in this impression? (Thanks for your continuing

efforts in this series, Nora. :-D )
