Thank you Sridhar for the info.Is Tattvaloka available on web? Is bhAvanopanishad also called lalitopanishad? i saw something titled lalitopanishad.It had same contents as in bhAvanopanishad.just curious. Apte's dictionary gives the meaning(see 11 th below) of kaTaka as follows i am not sure if kaTaka is an exact word or some form(inflection) of another word. 1.a bracelet of gold; 2.a zone or girdle; 3.a string; 4.the link of a chain; 5.a mat; 6.seasalt; 7.the side or ridge of a mountain; 8.table-land; 9.an army; 10.a royal capital or metropolis; 11.a house or dwelling; 12.a circle or wheel; 13.a ring placed as an ornament upon an elephant's tusk; 14.name of the capital of Orissa > > > > sadaa pa.nchadashaatmaikya svaruupaayai namo namaH > > > > > > Salutations to HER who always has pa.ncadashAxarI mantra > > > as HER form.

This name thus indicates HER rulership and benevolence towards jIva-s.

But this is what came to my mind when I searched for a deeper meaning. Salutations to HER who effortlessly governs this Universe sporting HER good vAsana-s (with complete awareness). kasturi tilaka here represents good vasana-s and SHE sports it in HER actions, forehead representing the seat of thoughts and action. SHE does that with complete awareness and sense of joy. Repeated actions form habits. Habits are both a blessing (to the wise) and a curse (to the ignorant). Repeated good actions leave good impressions of good vAsana-s. Habits help one to do certain things without any effort. Like if you are practise getting up at 4:00am (i dont) after a while you can do that effortlessly. That is a wise use of habits. They, however, do it with complete awareness, and can break it with will when they want to. But ignorant become slaves of habits. Due to HER repeated actions from AnAdi kAlam ( t = -infinity), things like creation of universe, maintaining it, protecting the good and destroying the evil, which SHE does yuga after yuga. It not a task to HER, SHE does that effortlessly. As SHE has done countless time in the past. From HER example as kR^iShNa, SHE does that with a playful joy and a pretense of effort. As I said in the beginning, above may be incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less obvious one is "Salutations to HER who is the basis of the life-energy of all beings". shashanka means moon, which indicates amRta and shashanka shekara is one who wears that on the crown. From trishati bhaashhya of kakaara-ruupa, "sarveshhaam praaNinaam shirasya amRtam astu iti ..." this denotes all living beings. Again in trishati bhaashya of kAmeshvara praNa naaDi, shankara quotes from taittiriiya upanishad that praNa does give life but the brahman who stands as a basis of praaNa. Hence praaNa vallabha, is brahman who is the basis of praaNa, hence the beloved or the dear one. Thus this name can mean "SHE is the basis of life-energy of all beings" I dont remember the quote from kAmeshvara prANa naaDi, I will post all the three meanings on Friday. In any case, I have already indicated the key to my understanding of this name. Please correct/comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(think of the picture of shrii miinaaxii) b) bhasma signifies detachment. mastaka indicates the faculty or agency that prompts action. HER actions are impartial and it shines with sense of detachment. As iishvarii and karma-phala-pradaa HER actions are marked with detachment. SHE has no end or purpose for HERSELF for which SHE acts and it is only for the welfare of jIva-s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
