LalithA SahasranAma [906] tattvas [ tattvAdhikA]

[Guest guest]

Tattvas, the thirty-six, those which remain until the pralaya, hence

the pot, etc are not included. The wise men say, "What remains till

pralaya, giving enjoyment to all beings, that is called tattva, hence

the body, pot, etc., are not tattvas"

She transcends the categories of Creation.

 

Tattva also means Sabda-Brahman, that elemental state of Creation

which lasts until the Final Dissolution, but which is not subject to

Death, Birth, or Decay.

 

"Apralayam yat tisthati sarvesAm bhogadAyI bhUtAnAm tattavamiti

proktam: That which abides beyond dissolution and that which gives

experience to all Creation is Tattva." (Sruti)

 

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

Sahasranama, 1962

 

The Goddess transcends the 36 tattvas [categories constituting the

Cosmos] because She is Infinite, while the tattvas exist only until

the pralaya [Dissolution] and are therefore not Eternal.

 

- Dr. L. M. Joshi, Lalita Sahasranama: A Comprehensive Study of the

One Thousand Names of Lalita Maha-Tripurasundari (1998)
