BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 701, 702 & 703

[Guest guest]

[701]KausikI : The totality of the powers contributed by the gods.

KausikI is the antecedental name of DurgA. Being the personification

of the totality of the powers of the gods, she is naturally

difficult to approach and difficult to know. As She emanated from

the body of PArvatI, she became known as KausikI DurgA. She

vanquished furious demons llike Sumbha-Nisumbha and RaktabIja. The

powers and activities of all beings are manifestations of her power.

Being the Mother of universe She is the personification of tender

love, when sought by prayer and devotion. KausikI, lexically means

the sheathed one.

 

 

[702]KusAvartA : Who penetrates like the sharp point of a blade of

kusa grass.

KundalinI, when awakened through yoga practice, rises up to

sahasrAra in a sharp stir with a shriek. It penetrates like sharp

intellect and is therefore compared to sharp point of a blade of

kusA grass.

 

 

[703] KausAmbi : Who favours efficiency in knowing the Supreme Truth.

KausikA DurgA combined in her all powers of the Devas to combat and

vanquish the fierce demon. She came out from PArvati's physical

sheath and was called KausambI.
