BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : 774, 775 & 776

[774] MImAnsA : Who is deep reflection

Cit Sakti is the power of efficiency in thought. Her subsistence is

Atman-Brahman - reality as taught in the Upanisads.The Goddess is

named MImAnsA[a] as she is Herself the power of deep reflection

needed to comprehend the Reality.

 

Foot Note :

[a] MImAnsA is the name of one of the six philosophies of India

[Darsanas] founded by Jaimini. It is concerned chiefly with the

correct interpretation of the ritual of the Veda and the settlement

of dubious points in regard to Vedic text.

 

 

[775] TarkavidyA : Who is the knowledge of suppositin or reasoning.

Cit Sakti is the power required to keep balance between the right

and the wrong. Lord Krishna says : " of those who debate, I am the

reason " , But 'reason' here means 'right thinking' which the sAstra

call sat-tarka. Cit Sakti is that knowledge of reasoning beyond

which no deliberation is possible.

 

 

[776] Subhaktih : Who is the excellent devotion itself.

The Supreme Mother is reached through the path of devotion or

yearning [meditation]. This is not possible without Her grace, for

Bhakti and Bhagvati are not two different entities. Utpala's ardent

prayer to Siva is : " Let me have my bossom possessed by the sweet-

hearted of Thy worship " . Again he says; " those endowed with

unflinching devotion worship Thy being " . The goddess is the

excellent devotion Herself.
