Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 lalitAmbikA : The Mother LalitA Thus by the first three names the goddess is indicated as the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, by the next two names, she is indicated as possessing two other functions, namely annihilation and re-manifestation which belong to no other deity, from the sixth name to the last of the same deity who possesses these five functions is described in different ways and is indicated by the name LalitA which is her special name and belongs to no other deity. LalitAmbikA : LalitA as well as Mother. The meaning is given in the PAdma. Pr : "Transcending all worlds she sports [lalate]; hence she is called LalitAWorlds" means her surrounding lights or deities. "Transcending" being above their abodes in the bindu- place. "Sports" shines brilliantly. The wise says, "The word lalitA has eight meanings, namely brilliance, manifestation, sweetness, depth, fixity, energy, grace and generosity; these are the eight human qualities" The KAma-sAstra says : Lalita means erotic actions and also tenderness, as she has all the above-mentioned qualities, she is called LalitA. It is said also, "Thou art rightly called LalitA for thou hast nine divine attendants [in the Sricakra] and your bow is made of sugar-cane, your arrows are flowers, and everything connected with you is lovely [lalitA]". The word lalitA according to the SabdArnava means beautiful. This deity according to the PAdma Pr. is the deity worshipped at PrayAga. At the end of this name Om should be pronounced. This has been explained at the beginning of the first name. It should also be remembered that the rule has been explained according to the different caste. Though the two Pranavas [at the beginning and the end] are not part of the names, they should be repeated for the sake of the benediction. Because it is said, "The words Om and atha arose at the beginning at the first opening of the mouth of Brahman, hence both words are auspicious" Moreover if any mantra is repeated without the addition of Om at the beginning it becomes ineffective, and without the addition of Om at the end it becomes dispersed. According to this saying if the Om is not repeated harm ensues, but if the Om is repeated the result is far-reaching [adrsta] Now [the author of the ParibhAsA verse ] shows the first word of the names of each hundred. 33. [ParibhAsa verse] Sri, mani, sad, hrim vividhA, gudA, darA,desA, pustA and nAda are the first letters respectively of each hundred. There is no meaningless word [like ca and other particles], nor the repetition of names in this [sahasranAman] 34. One should ass a and A with the names [where there are names like repetition] of mati, varadA, kAntA, raktavarnA, etc. 35 and 36. The learned should split the name sAdhvi into two as SAdhu and I and tattvamayI as tat, tvam, and ayi.... 37 There are four names in masculine, such as Gunanidhi, Atman, Rogapparvata, MuhAlAvanya; two names are in neuter as Tat and Brahman, and two names are avyaya [indeclinable] as SvAha and SvadhA. Thus ends in the SaubhAgyabhAskara composed by BhAskararAya the eleventh KaLA Called DhArini with the tenth hundred. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry.
