Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 16) Which chapter is also known as the "Table of Contents" chapter and why ? Hint :- The curse of Brahma Vasishta and Vishwamitra ... Answer :- The chapter called "Atha Brahmaadi Saapa Vimochanam" . It is called the "Table of Contents" because it contains the bija mantras of each chapter in the order that they appear. For example Verse 1 : "Om Hrim Rim Retah Svarupinyai Madhu Kaitabha Mardinyai .... Sapad Vimukta Bhava " contains the bija "Hrim" for the 1st chapter of the Chandi and also the briefest description of the 1st chapter - the slaying of Madhu and Kaitabha. A similar analysis can be made for each of the verses of this chapter. 17) What Asan (yogic posture) is recommended while sitting to chant the chandi ? Answer :- Swamiji recommends Siddhasana. 18) What are the names of the King, Businessman and the Rishi in the story ? Answer :- King - Surath , Businessman - Samadhi , Rishi - Medhas 19) What is the name given to the Goddess who created the confusion inside us and also when pleased removed the confusion ? Answer :- Hmm, when I created this question I had the answer "Mahamaya" in mind, but Kalachandra came back with "Durga" and I think that answer is equally applicable too. 20) What is the sanskrit name of the meter of recitation - 32 syllables to a verse. ? Answer :- Anushtup = 32 syllables to a verse. THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING. YOU ALL GET A+ !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
