Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Namaste, so Her 3rd eye is jealous because it isn't close enough to Her ears? My ears aren't even symmetrical but I think my eyes are fine with that. Seriously the beautiful balance of Hindu iconography seems to be based on symmetry, so moving the third eye over to be closer to the ears wouldn't work at all. But the other thing about this that seems different to me is the idea of Her eye being red. I thought that red eyes were a part of Kali's iconography. I can't remember any other Goddess that is pictured with red eyes. blessings, pr , " NMadasamy " <nmadasamy wrote: > > KavInAm sandarbha-stabaka-makarand'aika-rasikam > katAksa-vyAksepa-bhramara-kalabhau-karna-yugalam; > amuNcantau drstvA tava nava-ras'AsvAda taralau- > asUyA-samsargAd alika-nayanam kiNcid arunam > > > The [third] eye on Thy forehead is some what red, [as though] > influenced by jealously, seeing that Thy two young bee-like > obliquely glancing [eyes], in their eagerness to swallow the nine > Rasa-s [poetic sentiments], do not leave off Thy pair of ears, which > chiefly delight in the honey of the cluster of flowers of poetic > compositions. > > Celestial and other bards sing the praises of the Devi with their > choicest diction and always fill, as it were, her ears with the > honey flowing from their composition.
