BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 637, 638 & 639

[Guest guest]

[637] AmA : The digitless lunar digit.

 

The fifteenth lunar digit in the waning process of the moon is the

perfection called ParipUrnatA. In this yogic accomplishment the idea

of perfection or imperfection merge into the transcendence of the

Supreme. Para Siva or ParA Sakti.

 

It is the measureless digit called AmA KalA. From this all the digits

of the moon arise into this they merge again. The day in Indian

Calendar named AmAvasyA[a], the day of the conjunction of the sun and

the moon. It is the source of divine nectar. This is also called the

seventeenth digit of the moon. This residual digit of the moon between

AmAvasyA and PratipadA is absorbed in the Eternal transcendence just

as a householder after making the final offerings in a sacrificial

rite takes the residual of the foods offered to mark the completion of

the ritual with all satisfaction.

 

Foot note :

[a] This day of AmAvasyA is observed as a fast and worship is offered

to Siva, the supreme bliss.

[638] KalasahastA : Who bears the vessel of immortal bliss in her mind.

 

For an immediate satisfaction of her devotees the Mother Goddess bears

a vessel [Kalasa] in her hand. It contains the nectar of the bliss of

immortality which she sprinkles upon the devotee whom she blesses with

her grace. Thus she gives a helping hand to the surrendering devotee

by display of the pot [Kalasa] containing ambrosia in one of her

hands.

 

*************************

 

[639] PUrnakumbhadharA [a] : Holding the pitcher filled with all sorts

of satisfaction [ or satisfying ingredients].

 

The Mother is depicted here as fully satisfied. There is no desire to

be fulfilled. This is the eternal joy of self looking at self. There

is no limitation of time, space or causation.

 

In yoga this is the complete Kumbhaka AvasthA, the experience of

supreme bliss where egress and ingress have merged with eternal spanda

. It may be called the stateless state of a yogi. If he lives in a

body he is called Jivanmukta, the free while living in a body.

The Divine Mother manifests in that world like the kalpa vrksa[c],

which shines with supreme juice that she sprinkles without a break. So

the nectar-pot she bears in her hand is evr full and ever fresh.

Foot Note :

[a] In MS-1, 2 and PE-4,5,6,8 alternate reading is

PUrnakumbhapayodharA comprising one name in place of the two : 639 and

640. The meaning here will be - with full breasts, connoting that the

divine Mother is the power of knowing and doing or creation and

dissolution or JnAna or KriyA.

Eternal vibration of nectarial bliss from which emanate all moving

vibrations.

[c] The deisre-granting tree is said to be existing in svargoloka.
