BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 707, 708, 709 & 710

[Guest guest]

[707] KusumA : Who has outward attraction like the colour of safflower.

A Safflower yielding a red dye denotes the predominance of Rajas. one

of the constituent qualities of all material substance. It is supposed

to be the cuase of the great activity seen in creatures. It is the

manifested from the goddess of activity. There is a similar term used

as the name of the Goddess, who is just like the fresh red dye of lac,

in PancastavI.

 

[708] KusumapriyA : Who becomes pleased with the adoration of flowers.

or Who is as lovely and tender as colourful flowers.

The goddess loves everyone and everyone loves Her as one's own self.

The simile of flowers is quite apt as everyone loves these and the

flowers too spread fragrance, which is an evident sign of love.

 

[709] TotulA : The power to strike balance.

It is the Divine Power that maintains balance for the continuance of

the world. It is an open secret that the sovereign divine power

incarnates whenever there is decline in righteousness and

unrighteousness is in ascendence. There may be a male or female

incarnation according to the need of the situation arising from the

predominance of demoniac powers over the good. PurAnas like RAmAyana,

MahAbhArata, DevI BhAgvata, MArkandeya [DurgA Saptasati] etc. etc

supply glaring examples.

 

[710] Tulakotih : The beam of balance.

The Beam represents the source that is the Divine Power that creates,

sustains and dissolves the manifestation - the power of maintenance of

the universal balance which does not yield in any way.

 

In Tantra it is explained as the power of Kula-KundalinI, where Kula,

immanence and Akula, transcendance remain in balance. That is Kaula.
