reg. the name panchakosantarasthita in LS

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Apart from the 5 kosas in the pindanda viz., anna, prana, mano, vijnana,

ananda maya kosas, Shri Bhaskara gives another interpretation to the name

“panchakOshAntarasthitAâ€.

 

Kosa means avarana. It is also the 5 sheaths in the sriyantra around the

bindu. During the pancha-panchika puja, 5 devatas are worshipped individually

as well as collectively around the bindu sthana. The 5 devatas are srividya,

paramjyoti, para, nishkala shambhavi, ajapa matrika. The devatas paramjyoti,

para, nishkala shambhavi, ajapa matrika are worshipped around Bindu whereas the

Srividya is worshipped inside the Bindu Sthana during Srishti Krama Puja.

 

These 5 devatas collectively are called Pancha Kosas. Lalitha Tripurasundari

transcends these 5 devatas and hence the name “panchakOshAntarasthitAâ€

 

With regards,

sriram
