BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 727, 728, 729 & 730

[Guest guest]

[727] SokanASInI : She who destroys sorrow.

The Ocean of sorrow [samsAra] is crossed over by one who has got

knowledge of the self. This knowledge is granted by Brahma VidyA. In

SAkta parlance Brahma VidyA is known as Sri VidyA. That supreme

deity destroys all the sorrow of birth and death when pleased with

the loving worship of devotees.

 

[728] SAttvikI : who is endowed with the quality of goodness.

The Primordial Mother known as Prakrti in SANkhya, is the cause of

Tejas. The display of all kinds of goodness is Her graceful

performance in the manifestation. Then She is 'PrakAsarUpa but

insignificant'.

 

[729] SattvasanSthA : Who is established in the excellence of Her

natural character.

The goddess is the very being of clear consciousness. The taint of

selfishness vanishes in this state. The real nature of self

predominance and calm prevails, with the grace of this deity. She is

the stamina in all creatures.

 

[730] RAjasI : Endowed with activity or passion.

The Mother is of the form of Sakti, persuading the creation in all

sorts of passionate action which is an emanation of intellect.

According to SAnkhya Philosophy Prakrti [Nature] as distinguished

from Purusa is the original source of the three essential qualities -

Sattva [purity], RAjas [activity] and Tamas [darkness]. Rajas is

the cause of the great activity seen in creatures : it predominates

in men, as Sattva and Tamas predomininate respectively in gods and

demons. Rajas excites activity while the other two are drooping on

action. It is the Rajas quality of the Mother Nature, therefore,

that is active in manifesting Herself. She is called RAjasI.

KashmirI Saktas call her RAjaryeN.
