mistake which will be present there as i am an ignorant in this

field.

 

 

 

LS : 404

 

bhakta hArda tamObhEdha bhAnumat bhAnusantatih

 

bhakta hArda – in devotees' hearts

tamO – darkness - agnAna – ignorance, dukkha (sorrow etc) ,

bhEdha – destroys

bhAnumat – sUryA (bhAnu means – light rays – bhAnumat means one who

has the light rays – that is sun) here it is ambA

bhAnusantatih – collection or group of rays – ambA herself is the

light rays

 

1) ambA is the groups / lines of light rays destroys the

darkness in the hearts of the devotees

here poetically it is described that srImAtA destroys the ignorance,

sorrow.

Also it can be noted that it is not a single ray, it is lines and

lines of rays (santatih). (in a lighter vein, it can be said that

one or the other ray will definitely destroy our sorrow /

ignorance) we can never be deprived of her karunA / blessings)

 

2) If we take her as sun, she is the sun. as per gAyatri

mantra, the inner paramArtha swarOpA (bharghah) is ambA only.

 

3) She destroys the sorrow , fear, etc from the hearts of her

devotees. Before clearing the ignorance (agnAna), the worldly

sorrows and fears should be destroyed and mAtA does the same. This

nAmA gives a great assurance that we can get rid of all our worldly

sorrows with her. Not only sorrows …..

 

4) As kAnchi AchArya said (deivatthin kural) the greatest

sorrow or fear for us is agnAnA that is dvaita bhAvA. She destroys

that and with that destruction all our sorrows, the fear for the

cycles of lifes and deaths are also getting destroyed.

 

Comparison : saint kumaraguruparar says " aganthaik kizhangai

agazhnthedukkum thozhumbar uLak koyirkkErtum viLakkE" (the light lit

by the devotees who dug out from their hearts the ahanhAra with its

roots)

 

abhirAmi bhattar says " en manatthu vanjattu iruLEdum indri oLi

veLiyAga irukkum undran aruL" (her karnuA is like the skyful of

light in my heart removing "all" the darkness)

he also says "en pAsatthodarai ellAm vandu ari sindura vannatthinAL"

(she is the one who is in sidhUra colour who destroyed all my chain

of my attachments)

 

when LS describes her as arrays of rays, he describes her as the

water which destroyed all his sins/ all dirts from his heart

(ahankArA, mamakArA) – (nenjatthu azhukkai ellAm nin arut punalAl

thudaitthanai)

 

 

 

with many many pranamas
