LalithA SahasranAma [854] gambhirA

[Guest guest]

gambhirA : Fathomless

 

Gambhira is the larger tank [mahAhrada]. The Siva-sUtra [i. 23]

says, "By meditating on mahAhrada [one derives] the experience of the

power of the mantra" The commentary : "MahAhrada means the supreme

Divine Energy. Meditation [anusamdhAna] means the feeling of being

merged in that. Mantravirya [the power of mantra], the cognition of

the pUrnAhamsA [complete egoism]."Anubhava [experience], the clear

manifestation, of the Self" In another place also, "The Suprreme Queen

is knowledge. She emanates first the energy of desire and then gross

objects as well as souls with their qualities of activity, purity and

infinity etc. Hence mahAhrada means Devi who pervades the universe and

is beyond space and time"

 

Or, gam, the Ganapatibija, ie Ganapati, bhi, fear, ra drives out.

She is of bottomless depth. She is envisioned as a bottomless lake in

the scriptures:

 

"parA-bhattArikA ... mahA-hrado jagadvyApI desa-kAlAdyagocaraH: The

Ultimate Mother is to be conceived as a great and bottomless lake of

Consciousness, uncomprehended by Space and Time." (Siva Sutra 1.23)

 

- Dr. C. Suryanarayana Murthy, Commentary on the Sri Lalita

Sahasranama, 1962
