Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 [671] Hamsagatih : Who has graceful gait like that of a swan. Just as the gait of a swan is bewitching and also remains untouched by the water in which it swims, so is the play of ParA Sakti, attractive and also remains untainted in the cogmire of the world. She manifests. Hamsa also means Jiva who subsists with the outgoing and incoming of breath. Samvit sakti with all her infinite power and universal might has also the power of assuming this little self. [672] HamsI : She who is always present in persons belonging to the holy order of Hamsas. According to a general poetical convenion a hamsa [swan] is represented as being gifted with the peculiar power of separating milk from water. Hamsa, therefore, stands for a person of pure intellect [or Supreme Consciousness] who is free from malice. There is a particular order of ascetics called ParamAhamsas. They are pure in heart as they are graced by the goddess. They have no attachment to the mundane world. HamsA is also the name of Goddess [ Sarasvati ] whose vehicle is a swan. [673]HamsojjvalasiroruhA : Whose hair of the head shine like that of a swan. This refers to the suddha sattva state of the goddess, who has chosen to reside in the minds of devotees. They whom she graces with her radiance contain that in their hearts and emit through their bodies also.
