BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih [16] Hingula

[Guest guest]

****** [ 16 ] Hingula : One glowing like an orange red bead,

like a natural vermilion.

 

A natural bead of orange red colour is called Hingula. Water does

not stick to it just as also does not stick to a lotus leaf.

Hingula also means natural vermilion which is also of red colour and

is used by virgins to give glow to their beauty. The

vermilion is prepared artificially also from mercury with sulphur.

Here Hingula represents the brilliance of Goddess Lakshmi

who is beauty and harmony par excellence, unaffected by the six

kinds of pain. She confers supreme bliss upon those men of

learning who aspire to know Her nature. She manifests Herself as a

virgin of beautiful limbs while at the same time remaining

unmanifest.
