kadambeshii

[Guest guest]

This is the seventh name in shrii miinaaxii ashhTottaram. kadamba

means a collection or multitude, and it denotes the cosmos. SHE

is the lord (ishii) of this cosmos. This implies that SHE not

only transcendent but also immanent. SHE is indeed all this as

material cause of this jagat.

 

kadamba is one of the five different kalpaka vR^ixam-s and in

adhyaatmika sense, it will denote the manas vR^iddhi steeped in

sattva. Hence, SHE is the ruler of mind. In a sense, when we say

SHE is the ruler of the cosmos, at adhyaatimika level SHE is the

ruler of an invidual shining in the daharaakaasha. SHE sustains

and enlivens the human consciousness. Our joy is a mere fragment

of HER unfathomable bliss and our consciousness is mere

reflection of HER cosmic consciousness.

 

Or kadamba can denote kadamba vanam which is madhuraapurii and

SHE is its sovereign. The term kadamba could denote the kadamba

gardens which enlcose the chintaamaNi gR^iham and SHE is Lord of

that.
