LalithA SahasranAma [966] lilAvinodinI

[Guest guest]

Taking pleasure in amusement.

 

LilA, the play [of the activity] of the universe.

 

KilA is the name of the wife of PadmarAja, a king mentioned in the

YogavAsistha. VinodinI, she leads that queen into right action. The

story is given thus : LIlA Devi worshipped Sarasvati and pleased her

and received knowledge from Sarasvati and brought back her husband to

life. If the word lilA is taken as a separate name, it means Laksmi.

The Devi Pr. explains it thus : "Laksmi is called LilA because she

fondles [lAlana]".
