Guest guest Posted March 29, 2000 Report Share Posted March 29, 2000 mandaara maalaa kalitaa lakayai kapala maalaa~Nkita kaMdharaya | divyaambaraayai cha digambaraaya namaH shivaayai cha namaH shivaaya || 5 || ambaaL's forhead is adorned with garlands made of mandaaram (Hibiscus) and Lord's neck is adorned is adorned with garland made of skulls. SHE dresses in royal and divine clothes and HE has directions alone has is clothes. I bow to shrii shivaa and Lord shiva. The word digambara indicates that HE does not wear clothes as a mark of renunciation. The skulls indicate to the devotees that life in a body is transient and impermanent, one day you will have to die, so do not get mixed up with this world. digambara can also mean brahman. How can you clothe something which is the biggest and the greatest. If so one could say then that HE is contained in the dress and not outside it. A similar sentiment is indicated in Bible, when Jesus says he has no resting place. A principle that pervades everything can have no particular resting place.
