RE: shrI lalitA aShTottara shatanAmAvaliH-27

[Guest guest]

Satish:

 

 

This aspect was also discussed under the name sumadhyamaa in mInAxI 108 (see

archive)[1,2]. The relevant name is "tanu madhyaa" in lalita sahasranaama.

Instead of taking it as slender, one can take it as subtle also. See

additional notes on tanumadhyaa in [3-5]. They bring in references to

additional names from sahasranaama shaatodarii, talodarii, etc.

 

Besides, you can take madhya as center, hence bindu. The very next name in

mInAxI 108[6], hints at it. I missed that connection at the time I wrote for

sumadhyamaa. Once you take madhya as bindu, you get wide variety of other

interpretations.

 

You can interpret this taking it as madhya kuuTa also. Even though slender

in its nature, it seems to have a wide :-)) variety of interpretations.
