LalithA SahasranAma [999] sivasaktyaikyarUpini

[Guest guest]

sivasaktyaikyarUpini : The union of Siva and Sakti.

 

Her nature is the equal essence of Siva and Sakti. The VAyaviya-sam.

says, "By the will of Siva, the supreme Sakti becomes one with the

Siva-tattva. Again She manifests at the beginning of creation like oil

from the oil grain" Here "union" means the supreme equality, the being

absolutely without difference. The Saura-sam says, "The Sakti which is

separate from Brahman is not different from Brahman itself. Such being

the case it is only called Sakti [as separate] by the ignorant. It is

impossible to distinguish the difference, O wise one, between the

Sakti and the possessor of Sakti" The VAl. RAmA, also says, "As there

is only one movement of air, only one odyAna-pitha [in the world], and

only one manifested cit-sakti, also there is only one union [of Siva

and Sakti].

 

Or, Siva, the Sivacakras, sakti the Sakticakras, aikya, union. The

BrAhmA Pr. says, "In the trianglt bindu must be united, the eight-

angled one is to be united with the eight-petalled lotus... He who

knows the necessary relation between the parts belonging to Siva and

the parts belonging to Sakti in the Sricakra is the real knower of the

cakra"

 

Or thi sname means the Hamsa-mantra, for in this mantra is declared

that union of Siva and Sakti. The Su-sam, {IV. 7. 2] : "Sakti of Him

[siva] is said to be the end of the syllable sA [ie sa] and end of

that [ie. ha] is called Bija. The Bija is the VidyAsakti. That itself

if Siva. Therefore this supreme mantra is said to signify Siva as well

as Sakti"

 

Or Siva-sakti, the five Saktis of Siva, namely DhUmavati, etc, and

aikya, their collective form which is Devi. The VirUpAksa-paNcAsikA

says " DhUmAvati veils, BhAsvati reveals, the Spanda stimulates, the

Vibhvi pervades, the HlAdasakti nourishes. The DhUmAvati-sakti belongs

to earth, HlAda to water, BhAsvati to fire, Spanda to air, and Vibhvi

to ether, thus the world is pervaded by these"
