164. hArahArikuchAbhogA

SHE whose chest creates the primordial desire that is the cause of

jagat.h sR^iShTi.

 

The term hAra means those attributes pertaining to hara (parameshvara)

such as Ishvaratva, ApatkAmatva, nityatR^iptatva. hAri means one which

steals away the above attributes by creating avidya which is their opposite.

HER kuchAbhoga, i.e., chest creats a desire for HER in paramesvara. His

mind then being engrossed in that desire, will be subject to avidya caused

by HER. Then his attributes of Isvaratva such as ApatkAmatva controlling

mAyA disappear. This is because the attributes of jIva (avidyA) and

those of Isvara (ApatkAmatva) cannot coexist. HER chest creates a desire,

in Ishvara, to seek pleasure outside himself, i.e., a desire to become

many or to create the jagat.h. The great attributes of HER chest which is

the cause of the jagat.h are suggested here.

 

Or this name can mean that HER chest is adorned with pearl necklaces. It is

a tradition to wear pearl necklaces in six different ways depending on the

occasion.
