Notes:
This
song is set in saMbodhanA vibhakti (vocative). The basic sentence unit (anvaya) is
shrIkamalAMbike! ava ... Alokaya mAM (Oh Kamalambika, protect me,
... glance at me), and all the words ending with "i" or “e” qualify kamalAMbike.
The cakra for this AvaraNa,
sarvasiddhiprada cakra is the innermost triangle in the Sricakra, which houses
the bindu, the dot at the centre. The three shakti-s (Kameshvari
etc) residing in this cakram are called atirahasya yoginis. The ten
incarnations of Vishnu emanate from the fingernails of the Goddess, as
mentioned in the Lalita sahasranama “karAN^guLInakhotpanna nArAyaNa dashAk.rtiH”
The rAgamudrA “ghaNTA” occurs
in the phrase “ghaNTAmaNi”. |
