Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 tarunAdityapAtalA : Rosy like the morning sun She assumes different colours according to the form under which she is contemplated. Hence there is no contradiction [of different colours which Devi appears] as SyAmA, Gauri etc. The Sruti [br. Up., II. 3. 6] says, "just like silver, white cloth or white woollen cloth or like the color or like the color of Indragopa stone" The Smrti also says, "When she confers salvation she becomes peaceful [in appearance] and white in color. In her aspects as controlling women, as controlling kings, controlling men she becomes red in color. In her aspect of controllin wealth she becomes the colour of saffron. In the action of slaying she becomes black. When creating enmity she becomes tawny. In the srngAra she becomes rosy coloured. Devi, the supreme light is to be meditated upon as differently coloured as according to her different activities." BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.
