Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 VisAlA kalyAnI sphuta-rucir agodhyA kuvalayaih krpA-dhArA-dhArA kim api madhur'Abhogavatika avantI drstis te bahu-nagara-vistAra-vijayA dhruvam tattan-nAma-vyavaharana-gogyA vijayate The glance of Thine eyes is all-comprehensive [VidAlA]; spells prosperity [KalyAni]; serenely dazzles and [as such] cannot be faced in battle [AyodhyA] by blue lilies; is the fountain-head of the stream of mercy [DhArA]; is superbly sweet [MadhurA]; enjoys immense happiness [bhogavatI]; is the saviour [Avanti] [of the devoted]; out- rivals in extenso [VijayA, nay] several [other] cities, and is indeed capable of being [appropriately] indicated by their respective names. All glory to it! The glance of the Devi's eye is said to be of an eight-fold character, each of which is represented to indicate the name of a great city. These eight kinds of glances are common to all women. The glance known as VisAla is said to bloom inward; that known as KalyAni is said to be filled with surprise; the AyodhyA glance represent one with the expanded pupil; the DhArA glance denotes idleness; the MadhurA glance is that which shows a slight swirl; the BhogavatI is the friendly one; AvantI is the one of an innocent naturel; and VijayA is the oblique one. The Devi's glances produce respectively the following effects; agitation, attraction, melting, infatuation, subjugation, exorcising, antagonizing and death-dealing.
