Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ruler of five elements. Or, paNcabhUta, fivefold, because that is the garland called Vaijayanti formed of five elements and five gems. The Visnu. Pr., "The club-bearer's [Visnu's] garland celled Vaijayanti is five-formed as it consists of five elements, it is also called the element-garland, O twice born one". Here "five-formed" means the five kinds of jewels, namely pearl, mAnikya, marakata, sapphire and diamond. The Visnu- rahasya also says, "From earth comes the blue black gem, from water pepearl, from fire the kaustubha, from air vaidurya, from ether pusparAga. Thus the five form the Vaijayanti garland of Hari." BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry. Lalitha Sahasranama with commentaries now in SS homepage.
