Notes:
The song is set in accusative
case (dvitIyA vibhakti). The basic sentence unit (anvaya) is kamalAmbAM
bhaja re re mAnasa, kalpitamAyAkAryam tyaja re (Oh
mind, worship the Goddess Kamalamba and renounce worldly desires, which are
illusory), and the remaining phrases
qualify the dvitIya noun “kamalAmbAM”. All these adjectives end in
the “m” sound. The word “kamala” has been used several times with
several different meanings here.
The rAga mudra kalyANI
appears in the phrase “nityakalyANIM”.
The diagram for the second
AvaraNa, the sarvAshAparipUraka cakra, consists of a circular arrangement
of sixteen lotus petals (ShoDasha padma). The sixteen yoginis residing in this
cakra are known as gupta yogini-s, the hidden yoginis.
The sixteen presiding
deities in the second AvaraNa, all ending in the phrase “AkarShiNI”
(one who attracts like a magnet) are - kAmAkarShiNI, buddhyAkarShiNI,
ahaMkArAkarShiNI, cittAkarshiNI, dhairyAkarShiNI, sm.rtyAkarShiNI,
sharIrAkarShiNI, shabdAkarShiNI, sparshAkarShiNI, rUpAkarSHiNI, rasAkarSHiNI,
gandhAkarShiNI, nAmAKarShiNI, bIjAkarSHiNI, AtmAkarShiNI and am.rtAkarShiNI.
The Goddess Kamalamba is
conceived of as being served by Lakshmi and Sarasvati in this composition. It
may be noted that the phrase “sacAmara ramA vANI savyadakShiNa sevitA” appears in
LalitAsahasranAma. Dikshitar also begins the nASamani rAga k.rti with the words
“shrI ramA sarasvatI sevitAm shrI
lalitAmbAm bhAvaye”.
