: Sreenivasarao's blog: Saptamatrka (part 4)Vaishnavi refers to one of the seven mother-like goddesses (Matrika).鈥擳he Matrikas emerge as shaktis from out of the bodies of the gods: Vaishnavi from Vishnu. The order of the Saptamatrka usually begins with Brahmi symbolizing creation. Then, Vaishnavi provides the created world with symmetry, beauty and order. The most important significance of Saptamatrka symbolism is the implication of the cyclical universal time and its cessation. In the standard versions, Vaishnavi the preserver occupies the central position flanked by three goddesses on each side.
The Bhavanopanishad (9) recognizes Matrikas as eight types of un-favourable dispositions, such as: desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride, jealousy, demerit and merit. Tantra-raja-tantra (36; 15-16) expands on that and identifies Vaishnavi with power to fascinate and delude (moha).
According to Khadgamala (vamachara) tradition of Sri Vidya, the eight Matrkas are located along the wall (four at the doors and four at the corners) guarding the city (Tripura) on all eight directions: Vaishnavi on the South.

Because manas is subservient to the Watery disposition of the Solar Plexus, but in time must come to fully control it, so the comparatively diminutive weasel is implicated.

The wheel held by Vais峁嚹鍁墨 relates to the ability of manas to sort out the forms of emotionality and to appropriately direct them.
