The one who manifests as various forms starting from the gross and ending with the esoteric/subtle.
The one who is the primordial force responsible for the creation of the three worlds and the self-propelling force.
The one who gives all the four types of liberations, namely, sAlOkya, sAmIpya, sArUpya and sAyujya.
The one who is the essence of tantric works like mAlini and mantramAlA.
The one who bears the trident and the one who is the self experience of guruguha.

[edit] Commentary

  • Kshetram - Mayavaram
  • 2aparOkSa jJAnE - According to vEdAnta, cognition may be of different kinds. jJAna that is transient is achieved through means such as pratyaksha and other pramANAs. aparOkSa jJAna is the knowledge of the self borne out of realization.
  • 3ibharAja gatyAH/nabhOmaNi gatyAH/nAdalayagatyAH - Here dIkshitar uses the word gati in three distinct senses. The first is to convey the walk or gait of an elephant. It is an allusion frequently employed as a simile or metaphor to the walk of a woman. nabhOmani means the sun and here dIkshitar uses the word gati to indicate the Goddess as someone who controls the movements of the celestial bodies. nAda is the innate music, laya is the component of time/tempo and gati is the term for the gait of the tAla. Here the goddess is referred to as the one innate in all these elements of music. The same term gati is used in the last line as svAnubhava gatyAh to refer to the state of svAnubhava or experiential bliss of the self.
  • 6dvAdazAnta - The energy goes through channels from mUlAdhAra cakra at the base of the spine to the sahasrAra plane at the crown by channels known as nAdis. Below mUlAdhara cakra, there are CakrAs of lower order, responsible for animal and human instinct, and intellect. The Yogi's soul departs the body and escapes through brahmArandhra, the anterior frontal area, to merge with the brahman. This area is said to be 12 inches above the crown and is called dvAdazAnta, where absorption of Yogi's consciousness into the Pure Consciousness takes place.
  • 7sthUlAdi maunAnta - sthUla dhyAna is meditation upon a particular , such as one's teacher or the goddess. mauna dhyAna is meditation in silence.
