Kamale- Oh devi, She resides in a lotus(kamalam) and holding lotus in her hand and hence she herself is caled Kamala ( Kamale bhavaa or kamalam asya sthi ithi) Yathra dhehini- in whom, who has them as His body, and therefore being their inner self, ameeshaam –for these Jangamaajanagamaanaam- sentient and insentient beings janmasThema pralayarachanaa- whose creation , sustenance and annihilation bhavathi – happens yath sanlapaath- by whose will kalyaaNam- who is the auspicousness itself ekalakshyam- and the sole object of meditation yaminaam- for those who have integrated their mind in Him thath kimapi poorNam thejaH- that Lord who is all-pervading light that is wonderful sphurathi- shines bhavatheepaadhalaakshaarasaankam- marked with the red dye on your feet . Sreedevi resides in the heart of the Lord and the mark of the red dye on her feet is seen on His chest. Desika says that the Lord shines with it which serves as the mudra for His glory, the luminosity of His light, which is wonderfuland all-pervading. The world of sentient and insentient beings, which were created, sustained and annihilated by His will. The upanishad declares, `yatho vaa imaani bjhoothaani jaayanthe, yena jaathaani jeevanthi yasmin abhi samvisanthi,' meaning from whom all these beings originate , by whom they are sustained and into whom they merge back. They form His body as they came from Him, `thath aikshatha bahu syaam prajaayeya,' He willed to become many, says the upanishad. He is poornam because He is the Brahman of the upanishads mentioned as the sath which alone existed in the beginning one only without a second. `sath eva saoumya idham agra aaseeth ekam eva adhvitheeyam.' And also he is descrivbed as `poornam adhaH poorNam idham poorNaath poorNam udhachyathe,' that(Brahman) is whole ; this ( the world) is whole; the whole came from the whole. These passages explain the transcendence and immanence of the Lord. Hence He is referred to as kimapi thejaH, the light which is wonderful. The particle kim is used at times to denote the wonder meaning "what ever it could be?" This light, the Lord, shines with the luminance which is the divine mother, the red dye on whose feet is seen on His chest where she resides. The Lord is mentioned as kalyanam because He has Sree on His heart always who has been referred to earlier as mangalam mangalaanaam. He is yaminaam ekalakshyam samaaDhou, the sole object of meditation for those who have controlled and integrated their mind on Him. But He is easliy available to the devotees because the divine mother who resides in His heart, the seat of His mercy. The red dye on Her feet denotes that those who worship Her feet are able to enter the heart of the Lord through Her grace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
