LalithA SahasranAma [888] ViprarUpA

[Guest guest]

ViprarUpA : Of whom the vipras are her manifestations.

 

The Sruti says, "All the devatAs reside in the brAhmana who knows the

Vedas.' The ParAsara-smr. also says, "The brAhmanas are known in the

three worlds as sacred places in motion, for by the flow of their

speech sinful people are purified"

 

Or vipra, brAhmanas, rUpa, nourishes, ie by the repetition of mantras

[of Devi] and homa [oblation], etc. brAhmanas are nourished. The

Apastamba-smr. says "By disgrace their penance is increased, by

adulation their penance is destroyed. If the brAhmana is adored and

worshipped he becomes exhausted like a cow after milking. Just as the

cow is nourished during the day by tender grass, so the brAhmana is

nourished by repetition of the mantras and by homa"
