Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 kUtasthA KUta lit deception, ie veiling one's own nature which is bliss, etc. it makes one fall into samsAa, hence kUta means ignorance. SthA, she governs this. The Sruti [bh-gitA. XII. 3] says, "Governing ignorance [kUtastha], immovable, firm" or kUta, ignorance, stha, seat ie the foundation of ignorance is in her. Or kUta, mountain peak, stha, she remains motionless like a mountain peak. Or kUta, the iron anvil which remains on the ground while iron instruments are fashioned on it; stha, she remains unchanged like this. Or kUta, the multitude of universe, stha, these resides in Her. Or kUta, VAgvgava, etc [ the three divisions of PanCadasi mantra] stha, she remains in them. Or kUta, the gate of the city, ie the three - angled cakra which is within the Sricakra, stha she remains in it. The Visva says, "kUta means a machine, deception, zodiac, anvil, illusion, mountain peak, and summit, insignificance, part of a plough, vanity, gate of the city" BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 1. She is the Original Deception; i.e. the Cause of the Universe. [kUta = Deception; Ignorance] 2. She is a peak; the highest to be aspired to. [kUta = Peak] 3. She is like a blacksmith's anvil, immoveable and firmly established. [kUta = anvil] 4. She is a multitude of Universe; they are all inside Her (see name 648/lilA-klapta-brahmAnda-mandalA: She creates the galaxy of Universes for Her pleasure). [kUta = multitude of Universes] 5. She resides in the divisions of the Pancadasi Mantra. [kUta = those divisions] - Dr. C.
