BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : 787, 788, 789 & 790

[787] CakramadhyasthA : Whose abode is the centre of the Cakra.

Cakra is conceived as the material manifestation of the Deity. All Her

emanations are also conceived as stationed in the Cakra. The main

deity is known as PradhAna whose abode is in the centre of the Cakra

while the emanations gather round the PradhAna as the ParivAra

Devatas. The Mother is praised as surrounded by Cakra Devatas.[a]

 

Foot Note:

[a] The SArikA Saila on the Hari Parvat in Srinagar-Kashmir is also

named CakresvarI.

 

 

[788] CakrakonanivAsinI : WHo resides in the triangle within the cicle.

The Cakra like the Mantra leads a spiritual aspirant to the direct

perception of the Divine Form. Therefore much importance is given to

it in the Tantric worship. There are symmetrical lines of beauty and

harmony on which the eternal geometrician fashions the universe. These

lines are straight lines, triangles, circles and squares which

constitute the Cakra. The circle represents the principle which has no

beginning no ending. It is perfectly symmetrical and all points are

equidistant from centre wherever it is. To the common person it is a

circumscribed field of action. The triangle points to the threefold

source of all things. The source or centre is represented with a point

called Bindu. ParA sakti resides in this triple Bindu within the

circle of infinity.

 

 

[789] Sarvamantramayi VidyA : Who is knowledge Herself conforming all

formulae.

There is a series of Mantras, mystic formulae, used by the UpAsakas

along with their corresponding yantras or diagrams, wherein the

Supreme Deity is to be conceived as abiding. An exposition of the

Agamas and Tantras, bearing the worship of the Supreme Power in the

aspect of Sakti or creative energy is known as Sri VidyA. The Supreme

Deity is the essence of all the Mantras and pervades all SampradAyas

who hold key to their respective SAdhanAs thereby. She is blissfully

sublime.

 

 

[790] SarvamantrAksarAvalI : Who is the lineage of letters comprising

all the formulae.

The power of speech, VAksakti known as Supreme or ParA is identical

with the light of consciousness ie Siva. It is the form of great

Mantra that has eternal sound. It consists of the consciousness of the

perfect " I " . This power [sakti] is pregnant with the whole assemblage

of sounds beginning with 'a' and ending with 'ksa'. She brings into

manifestation the sphere of limited subject through the successive

phases of pasyanti, madhyamA an dvaikhari; as is said : " The essence of

all mantra consists in letters or sounds and the essence of all

letters or sounds is Siva " . In Saiva Tantras this is called

MAtrkAcakra. " This theory teaches us that this whole universe is

created by God, Lord Siva, as one with and not separated from His own

nature.
