Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Samam Devi Skanda-Dvipa-vadana-pItam stana-yugam tavedam nah khedam haratu satatam prasnuta-mukham; yad AlokyA'sank Akulita-hrdayo hAsa-janakah sva-kumbhau herambah parimrsati hastena jhaditi O Goddess! may Thy breast, ever flowing with milk and sucked simultaneously by Skanda and Dvipa-vadana - on seeing which Heramba, his mind distraced, with doubt, suddenly touches his own paif of frontal globes with his hand, creating laughter - drive away our misery. Dvipa-vadana-the elephant-faced, ie Ganesa. Heramba- is also Ganesa. Doubt- as to whether he was sucking from the frontal globes of his own head or from his mother's breast. The confusion is due to the close similarity between the two pairs, to express which he scratches his head with his hand.
