LalithA SahasranAma [943] vimAnasthA

[Guest guest]

Residing in the celestial chariot.

 

VimAnasthA are the Devas who remain in the celestial chariot, she is

not different from them.

 

Or, vi, much, mAna, protection [of her devotees], sthA, engaged : such

is her position. Or, vi, much, mA, light, ana, chariot, sthA,

residing. She remains in radiant chariots such as Kiricakra and

others. Or, vi, without, mA, limitation, ie, unconditioned Brahman,

stha, residing in that; or she limits the Brahman, or she is without

limitation. Or, vi, much, mA, measures, ie established decision, ie

vimAna, scriptures, stha, remains, ie she is described in the Vedas.

 

VimAna, proof which are not opposed to the vedas, sthA, she remains

therein in the nature of dharma. Or, vimAna, the fourteen vidyAs,

namely PurAna, NyAya, MimAmsA, etc. The holy Jaimini in his sUtra [i.

3.5 and 6] says, "If an inferential statement.... NO, because a system

has its own limits, etc"

1. She is seated like Geya-Chakra in Vimana, the divine transport of

the Devas, since all Gods are none other than Herself.

 

2. She is the Unconditional, Infinite Brahman. (Vimana here is read

as "without limitation.")

 

3. She is seated in the Mind.

Sahasranama, 1962
