There is another interesting meaning to aaj~naa (I referred one

recently as part of the ashhTottaram). It is understood from

"aa~N ishhad" and "j~na j~naane". That is SHE appears for a

fraction of a second like lightning to yoginaH in this center

(situated between eye brows) hence it is called aaj~naa

chakram. This brings to the pregnant reference to ambaaL in

miinaaxii stotram of shankara as vidyullataa vighrahe.

 

Talking about miinaaxii stotram, shankara here reflects the term

"udhyad bhaanu sahasra koTi sadR^ishaam" of minaaxii pancharatnam

as "baalarkakoTyujjvale" which means the same things. It is very

pleasing to find similar ideas in many texts.
