LalithA SahasranAma [915] svabhAvamadhurA

[Guest guest]

svabhAvamadhurA : Whose nature is sweet

 

Without contact with the upAdhis [bodies, vehicles] she is to be

desired by all. The Visva says, "Madhura [neu.] what is sweet and

things liked by all. In fem. a flower called SatapuspA, MathUli and

a mountain"

 

Or, sva, her, bhAva, residence, madhurA, at the place of MadhurA.

 

This means the goddess MinAksI in the HAlAsyaksetra.

 

or, sva, her, bhA, light, avama, the best, the best of the wise,

dhurA, yoke, she bears the yoke or burden of the wise.

As the yoke of the chariot is the most important part, she is the

leader of the wise. One should not think the word avama means

inferior, for we see the words avama and uttama, used to mean best

and last respectively. Refer to the Sruti Agni, etc., "Agni is the

best of gods..."

 

Or, svabhA, the knowledge of the Self, vama to create, ie those who

inculcate the knowledge of the Self, dhura, she is the leader ]of

them].

 

Or, su, well, abhAva, absence of desire, hatred, partiality,

mercilessness, etc madhurA. It is understood by the word "well" [su]

those who possess the above qualities, namely desire, hatred, etc.

are not good ones.

 

Or sva, in her devotees, bhAva by remaining, madhura sweet.

 

or, sva, their own [devotees] bhAva, by devotion, madhu, best fruit

[knowledge] ra, gives. The word madhu is explained to mean best

fruit, in the Sruti, "Following it he attains madhu" Thus other

meanings of bhAva, eg. opinion, incarnation, etc. may be added here.

1. She is natural sweetness; i.e. She resides in the heart of Her

devotees as Bliss or Ananda.

 

2. She resides as Sri Meenakshi at Her own residence, which is the

city of Madhura in the South.

Sahasranama, 1962
