BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 657, 658 , 659 & 660

[Guest guest]

[657] UrdvakesI : the goddess with dishevelled hair.

This speaks of the untrammelled freedom of the goddess KAli. She

grants glory to BrahmA. Visnu and Rudra.

 

Being one with MahAdeva, she held Ganga in her dishevelled hair.[a]

 

Foot note:

[a] Siva PurAna.

 

 

 

[658] BandhUkakusumArunA : Quickly propitiable with the offering of

BandhUkA flowers.

 

BandhUkA flower blossoms at mid-day. Shining with its colour of red

lead this connotes the will of the Goddess to manifest. JnAna Sakti is

predominated by KriyA Sakti. It is natural that the sportive activity

of the Devi is bedecked with red flowers of BahdikA tree.

 

 

[659] KAdambarI : The very spirit of the spirituous liquour from the

flowers of the kadamba tree.

It is an epithet of Sarasvati, the goddess of learning. Being the

consort of BrahmA, the creator, she represents his power and

intelligence, without which organized creation is impossible. She is

pictured as white and dazzling because the power of intelligence is

stupendous and absolutely pure.

 

 

[660] patAsA : Whose garment is a place of refuge.

Although there can be no resemblence of ParA Sakti, yet She is

reflected in the splendour of the three worlds which constitute Her

garments. The three worlds connote the three states of waking,

dreaming and sleep states which serve as different garments in moving

life.
