BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 761, 762 & 763

[Guest guest]

[761] DIksitapUjitA : Who is worshipped successfully by those who are

initiated. It is the seekers, initiated with a formula by the

preceptor, who are on the path of God-realization. There is no way for

those who are below the standard or who do not follow a SAmpradAya.

 

Cit Sakti CamatkAra is experienced by those who are initiated in the

path.

 

 

[762] NAgavalli : WHo is charming like the piper betel.

Piper betel [TAmbUlam] is a shrubly plant with evergreen leaves, which

are bland and resplendent. The creeper grows along a splendid tree

standing near it. It is said to be possessing thirteen qualities which

are difficult to be had even in heaven. To make the divine charm of

the goddess comprehensive to the general mind the simile of piper-

betel is used. ParA Sakti is resplendently charming and ever new.

 

 

[763] NAgakanyA : Who became serpent virgin to please Sambhu who loves

serpents. " Becoming Siva Himself, one should worship Siva " a

scriptural injunction. So becoming the beloved the lover enjoys union.

PArvati, rapt in love of Siva assumed a charming form of NAgakanyA to

gain His love. A serpent is an emblem of unpolluted love. The goddess

is therefore named NAgakanyA. Another view is that Supreme Mother is

simultaneously the Producer and the Primordial Energy. In the sublime

way of Theology it can be expressed that Nature is as much virgin as

she is the progenitor of the universe.
