Third Dhyana Shloka of LS -- Source

[Guest guest]

Sub : The FOUR Dhyana Shloka Of Lalitha Sahasranama

 

 

 

There are four Dhyana Shloka of LS which are commonly Chanted -- though not

necessarily as per the popular order described as under.

 

 

 

The first Shloka is ALWAYS chanted first in all traditions as this the “Only

one” from Brahmanda Purana.

 

 

 

It goes as……….. ………Sidurrana Vighraham

 

 

 

This is the only Dhyana Shloka as per the Brahmanda Purana -- as I have gathered

from the Bhasya of Shree Nrushimha Natha’s Bhasyam wherin he says as – Dhyana

EKENA.

 

 

 

In practice we always recite the ADDITIONAL THREE Dhyana shlokas.

 

 

 

The other Dhyana Shloka has been taken from various sources and later on added

by our Masters and therefore it appears there is no uniformity of order of

chanting conforming to the popular order as per this mail.

 

 

 

Going to the Second Dhyana Shloka as per popular Chanting –

 

 

 

Arunaam Karunaam tharangi Dhaksheem ……...............

 

 

 

This Shloka has been researched and found by elders to have been composed by the

great Datta gurudev – Lord Dattatreya. As Dutta Guru’s contribution to SRIVIDYA

is unparallel and unique this could have been added later ( personal belief)

 

 

 

Coming to the THIRD Dhyana Shloka which goes as –

 

 

 

Dhyaeth Padmasanstham …………………………………

 

 

 

 

 

The Source is Dhyana Shloka is UNKNOWN TO ME.

 

 

 

The Fourth Dhyana Shloka which goes as

 

 

 

Sakunkuma Vilepanam …………………………

 

 

 

This has been taken on a later date from the Shloka composed by Adi Shankara in

the “ TRIPURA SUNDARI ASHTAKAM.”
