Notes:
This k.rti contains the
description of the first trailokyamohana cakra, also called bhUpura (or
kshitipura). The cakra for this song
consists of three rectangular walls, with openings on the four sides (in some
versions of the diagrams, there is no opening, but sub-rectangles closing the
entrance!)
The song is set in the nominative
case. The basic sentence unit (anvaya) is: kamalAMbA mAm saMrakShatu
(May the Goddess Kamalamba protect me), and the various phrases
qualify the proper noun Kamalamba.
The eight Yogic
accomplishments (siddhis) referred to in this song are :
aNimA - power to become
infinitesimal in size
mahimA - power to grow very
huge
laghimA - power to become
very light
garimA - power to become
inordinately heavy
iShitva - power to rule over
everything
vashitva - power to subjugate
all
prApti - power to obtain
whatever is desired
prAkAmya - power to fulfil
all wishes
Nityas are the primary
devatas (goddesses) of the first cakra. They are sixteen in number, kAmeshvari being at the
center, and the other fifteen (bhagamAlini,
nityaklinnA, bheruNDA, vahnivAsinI, mahAvajreshvarI, shivadUtI,
tvaritA, kulasundarI, nityA, nIlapatAkA, vijayA, sarvamaN^gaLA,
jvAlAmAlinI, citrA and mahAnityA) around her. The shaktis residing in this
cakra are called prakaTa yoginis.
The phrase “Ananda” might
have been used as a partial rAga mudrA for the rAga Anandabhairavi.
