93 namaste, dear Parvati and others

 

ok ppl, i don't byheart all shlokas lol, you should have given me the

reference to Chani itself. anyway, we cannot take one shloka and make

a base for our theology out of it. if so, i can quote such places,

that we become confused forever if take 'em literally.

what i wrote is gereral idea of those forms, i guess any

shaakta-pandit will confirm that. yes, various sects give smwhat

different interpretations but still. in one puraana i met also sm

place telling that vaishnavi is trigunaa. ok, this can be undertood as

that She being ichchhaa-shakti is the first of three, so She

incorporates other two.

coming to your shloka, exact translation will be

 

sarvasyaadyaa mahaalakShmiis triguNaa parameshvarii

lakShyaa lakShyasvaruupaa saa vyaapya kRitsnam vyavasthitaa..

 

The Supreme Lady Mahalaksmi, [who embodies all] the three qualities,

who is percievable [or who is the goal] and whose own form is

percievable, She is present in the whole [existence] and permeats it.

 

Respected Swami SS is not giving proper translation, rather

interpretation of his own. I notices same thing in other books of him,

for example /Kali-puja/...

 

God bless you
