64. axararuupiNii

[Guest guest]

axara means that which cannot be destroyed. SHE as brahman is

indestructible. Hence, SHE is axara rupiNii.

 

Or the word axara can mean alphabets. As the letters start from

"a" and end in "xa", they are known as axara-s. SHE is mAtR^ikA

according to the saying "akaaraadi xakaaranta maatR^ika iti

abhidhiiyate". The letters from a to xa are known as maatR^ikaa;

Hence, this name is synonymous to maatR^ika-varNa-rupiNi of

sahasranaama.

 

Or axara means Lord shiva who is indestructible and SHE is one

with HIM as ardhanaariishvara. sahasranaama beautifully describes

this "maheshvara mahaakalpa mahaataaNdava saaxiNii" and "mahaa

praLaya saaxiNii". As Lord shiva destroys this creation at the

end of the cycle, SHE as brahman remains as a witness to it. And

nothing else remains. Hence, SHE is axararuupiNii

 

 

Also, shankara's commentary to names "ekaaxarii" and

"ekaanekaaxaraakR^itiH" in trishati brings outs different

meanings of axara. Please refer to that.
