LalithA SahasranAma [858] kalpanArahitA

[Guest guest]

kalpanArahitA : Free from imaginary [attributes]

 

KalpanA, the waves of the objective world, because they are only

imagined.

 

Or, kalpa, even in the pralaya, nAra to men, hitA, friend. Nara,

Brahman. For it is said, "As he is the leader [nayati]hence the

eternal Brahman is called Naga.

 

The Souls are called NAras because they belong to Nara; hitA, in the

time of universal dissolution she does good to souls by keeping them

in her belly in the form of vAsanAs [tendencies]. In the time of

creation and preservation there is no need to question her

benevolence. The AsthAvakragitA says, "In me who am the infinite ocean

of consciousnes, the souls like waves naturally rise, beat, play and

return; wonderful".

She is devoid of thought-formulation; i.e. She is Pure Consciousness,

before it has evolved into a form, or vikalpa.
