Soundarya Lahari--Verse 98

[Guest guest]

GirAm Ahur devIm druhina-grhinIm Agamavido

hareh patnIm padmAm hara-sahacarIm adri-tanayAm;

TurIyA kApi tvam duradhigama-nihsIma-mahimA

mahA-mAyA visvam bhramayasi parabrahma-mahisI

 

 

O Queen of the Parabrahman! the knowers of the Agama-s call only Thee as the

goddess

of letters who is the wife of Druhina; they call only Thee as PadmA who is the

wife of Hari;

they call only Thee the partnet of Hara, the daughter of the Mountain; while

Thou

perplexest the world, as the transcendent fourth entity unattainable, and with

Thy

boundless splendour, as the great illusory Being and the fountain of all

chastity

 

 

Here the manifold purpose served by the Devi, and the various aspects in which

she is

worshipped by her diverse followers, are referred to.
