AUM pa~nchabrahmaasanasthitaayai namaH

 

Salutations to who is established on the seat made of five brahma-s.

 

Traditional meaning is HER seat is made of brahma, vishhNu, rudra,

ishaana and sada shiva. From saubhaagya bhaaskara - "the bed itself

is shiva and the pillow is ishaana -- the four supports of the asana

is brahma, vishnu, rudra, and ishaana; and the mat is sadaashiva."

 

 

--

The meaning that came to me after thinking about this name is:

 

Salutation to HER whose cosmic form is established by the acts of by

the five brahma-s: That is brahma, vishhNu, rudra, iishvara and

sadashiva. They are not different from HER. This you can see in names

from srishhTi kartrii - anugrahada. The five acts that establish the

cosmos and respective Lords are:

 

1) srishhTi kartrii - brahma ruupaa

 

2) goptrii - govinda ruupiNii

 

3) samhaariNii - rudra ruupaa

 

4) tirodhaanakarii -- iishavarii

 

5) anugrahadaa - sadaashivaa

 

 

Please correct/comment.
