She who is the giver of all happiness

 

SHE who is the giver of all happiness. saukhya is the attitude of

one who is happy. sarva saukhya means all that is denoted by it:

they are priyam (love), moda (pleasure), pramoda (ecstasy) and

Ananda. Seeing a desired object engenders love for it. If it is

obtained it gives pleasure. If it is then enjoyed, it gives

ecstasy and totality of all this three is Ananda. jIva is enjoyer

and SHE is giver of all that mentioned. Hence, SHE is called

sarva saukhya dhAtrI.

 

Or sarva means by every means, like remembering HER, worshipping

HER, etc., one attains joy. Hence, SHE is called sarva saukhya

dhAtrI.

 

According to taittiriya upaniShad, "eSha hyevaAnandayati" which

means HE alone causes happiness.
