But at the time worship, devotees feel intense faith in their deities and the also the resulting kindness of the devatA who grants them boons. Naturally, this kindness manifests in the forms of benign look, smile and conversation. Hence, all these forms are present in HER. karuNA is a rasA (liquid) inherent in all nine emotions. It in said to flow into and drip from its effects like benign look, etc. Conventionally, the word rasA is used to express taste like sweetness. These are undefinable, but can only be known by tasting. The sweetness present in sugarcane (and other sources) in the form of juice has property of flowing and dripping (being a liquid). Hence, karuNa, the benign attitude of mind being a rasA, is said to drip from HER side glances. AUM kaTAkShasyandi karuNAyai namaH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
