Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 || AUM mahAgaNapataye namaH || || AUM shrI sha.karAchAryavaryAya namaH || || AUM shrImAtre namaH || 30. elAsugandhichikurA She [whose coiffure] has a divine fragrance HER coiffure is fragrant like cardamom. "elAsugandhi" means 'smelling like cardamom'. By the term "elAsugandhi" smell of uncreated divine perfume is implied and not the smell of ordinary cardamom. Because, "mAyA" the creatrix of all is under the control of Ishwara (hence dependence or likening to something under the creation of mAyA, is not correct). HER coiffure does not have the fragrance of cardamom. But it is fragrant like cardamom. Fragrance is the only similarity between the "elA" and "chikura". The name means SHE has divinely perfumed hair. Here chikura is indicative of all HER body which has a natural divine fragrance.
