[Guest guest]

paramantravibhedinI : Destroyer of hostile charms.

 

Para, those who hate her devotees, ie kings; mantra, certain energies

which are included in the three energies, namely the energy of

lordship [prabhusakti], council [mantra-sakti] and armed force

[utsAhasakti]

 

or, para, by enemies, mantra, the magical charms, or the mantras of

the magical weapons. The Harivamsa, when Indra sends words about

Pradyumna, says, "To destroy that weapons you must now remember Devi"

 

or, para, superior, mantra, the fifteen-syllabled mantra, vibhedini,

[she] divides into twelve kinds. For it is said in the Tantras "manu,

candra, kubera, LopAmundrA, Manmatha, Agastya, Agni, SUrya, Nandi,

Skanda, Siva and KrodhabhattAraka [DurvAsas], these twelve are the

devotees of Devi"

 

Para, superior, mantr, those who meditate [on Devi], avi their sins,

bhedini, destroys. The Linga Pr. says, "The word avi in the scriptures

means sins, say the BrAhmanas. It is called avimukta [freed from sins]

because it is freed from that [sin] and freed from illusion"
