(惭补丑腻尘腻测腻). Though 顿别惫墨 is without a beginning it is told how she became first visible to living beings.

Beginning:

While 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 was resting on a fig leaf in the assumed form of a child he began thinking as to who he was, who created him and how he should act. And then a celestial voice announced as follows:

厂补谤惫补峁� 办丑补濒惫颈诲补尘别惫腻丑补尘

N膩nyadasti san膩tanam.

(All that is, I am. There is nothing eternal but me.). This declaration astonished 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, but he could not understand who made it. While he was meditating upon it, 顿别惫墨 appeared to him in the following manner. 顿别惫墨* held in her four sacred hands weapons like the conch, the disc, the club and the lotus flower and was clad in divine clothes and wore divine ornaments and was attended upon by powers** like Rati (the erotic), 叠丑奴迟颈 (riches and prosperity), Buddhi (intelligence), Mati (intellect), 碍墨谤迟颈 (reputation), 顿丑峁泃颈 (understanding capacity), 厂尘峁泃颈 (ability to remember), 艢谤补诲诲丑腻 (attention, concentration), 惭别诲丑腻 (intellect), 厂惫补诲丑腻, 厂惫腻丑腻, 碍峁�u诲丑腻 (thirst), 狈颈诲谤腻 (sleep), 顿补测腻 (compassion), Gati, (momentum), 罢耻峁ａ弓颈 (pleasure, happiness) 笔耻峁ａ弓颈 (growth, progress), 碍峁�a尘腻 (patience, forberance), 尝补箩箩腻 (sense of shame), J峁沵bh膩 and 罢补苍诲谤腻 (laziness).

And, the 顿别惫墨 spoke to 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 as follows:鈥擜fter all, what is there to be wondered at. Whenever the world faced the phenomenon of S峁涐梗峁璱sthitilaya (creation, existence and absorption into the primordial force) you too have come up due to the power of 惭补丑腻艣补办迟颈. As for 笔补谤腻艣补办迟颈 (the ultimate, universal force) it is above and beyond all attributes. We, all of us, possess attributes. From the 苍腻产丑颈 (navel) of yourself in whom 蝉补迟迟惫补驳耻峁嘺 (gentle attributes) predominates will be born 叠谤补丑尘腻 in whom rajogu峁嘺 (active attributes) will predominate, and from the centre of his brows will be born Rudra with tamogu峁嘺 (black, destructive attributes). 叠谤补丑尘腻, by the force of his tapas will earn powers of creation and will with his rajogu峁嘺 create the world blood-red in colour, and you will be the sustainer and guardian of that world. The very same world will be annihilated by Rudra at the end of the Kalpa era. You please do know that I am the s膩ttvic force which depend on you for the purpose of creation. All creations of worlds have been made according to the suggestions of 顿别惫墨.

Origin of 顿别惫墨.

Once King Janamejaya questioned 痴测腻蝉补 about the birth of 顿别惫墨 to which he replied as follows:鈥�

Even 叠谤补丑尘腻vi峁ａ箛umahe艣varas (叠谤补丑尘腻, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and 艢颈惫补鈥攖he Hindu trinity) are not capable of thinking about the origin of 顿别惫墨. Then, what about me? Yet let me make an attempt. All the forces鈥攅verything-which appear in various names and forms are in fact 顿别惫墨 herself, her different manifestations. Just as a master actor appears on the stage in different roles for the delectation of the audience the formless 顿别惫墨, on behalf of the Devas, assumes many forms and imposes upon herself attributes though in fact she is without any attribute whatsoever. Thus, depending on her various forms, actions etc. she is addressed by different names. (顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补, 笔补帽肠补尘补 Skandha).

Five forms of 顿别惫墨.

When primordial nature (惭奴濒补辫谤补办峁泃颈) incarnated or manifested in the form of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 the desire for creation raised its head in him. And, at once the 顿别惫墨鈥攆emale鈥攁spects in 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 manifested in five forms like 顿耻谤驳腻, 尝补办峁�m墨, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨 and 搁腻诲丑腻. These five forms are designated as the Pa帽cadev墨s. Brief notes on the five 顿别惫墨s are given below.

顿耻谤驳腻dev墨.

Mother of 骋补峁噀艣补 产丑补驳补惫腻苍. (God with the elephant鈥檚 head). She is the consort of 艢颈惫补. 狈腻谤腻测补峁嚹�, the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻m膩y膩, is none else than 顿耻谤驳腻. She is also perfect Brahma, the one and the only one with no second to it. She is worshipped by Devas like 叠谤补丑尘腻 and by sages and 尘补丑补谤峁�i蝉. She is the basis, the root and root cause of everything. She is eternal, upholder of dharma, truth itself and the giver and promoter of happiness, reputation, welfare, salvation etc. as also of sorrow, grief, pain etc. She takes great preasure in removing the worries and sorrows of devotees who seek refuge in her. She is all-power, achievements and assets personified. All imaginable permutations and combinations of every attribute comprise in her and she it is who activates the universal soul.

尝补办峁�m墨.

This 顿别惫墨 is the most sublime form of the universal soul, nay, the universal soul itself. She is all wealth and riches personified, and she is the very seat of beauty, compassion, welfare, peace, all goodness etc. Evil traits like anger, avarice, haughtiness etc. are miles away from her. She is all sympathy and kindness towards her devotees. In 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补, as 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 she is ever engaged in the service of her husband, 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. In heaven she is the very glory of it. In houses she appears as the welfare and prosperity of the inmates. She is in fact beauty itself and is the essence of beauty everywhere. She is all-merciful, and worshipped by all.

厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨.

She is very base and fountain head of and the presiding deity of the word, intellect, knowledge, the arts etc. She also is of the form of the universal soul and liberally grants intellect, poetical skill, reason and logic, understanding capacity etc. to her devotees. The finest music with all its beauties originates from her. Yes, she is the goddess of all learning, fine arts and every branch of knowledge. Like the ice piece, the Jasmine flower etc. she is beautiful in her white cover. She recited the holy names of 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. She is of the form of tapas and blesses those who perform it. In fact, she it is who grants all gifts and powers of understanding. She is the goddess of language and learning (V膩峁嚹玬膩t膩) and without her human beings would lose their capacity to speak.

厂腻惫颈迟谤墨dev墨.

She is mother of the four 惫补谤峁嘺蝉 (castes, classes) 痴别诲腻峁単补蝉, the t膩ntric science etc. She is of the form of Japa (chanting of holy names and mantras), tapas, the effulgence of Brahman, the very essence of truth and existence and supreme bliss. She is eternal and grants salvation. She forms the very basis and pith and core of the glowing presence of the universal soul. This world is pure, and has been purified by the touch of the sacred feet of this 顿别惫墨.

搁腻诲丑腻dev墨.

R膩dhik膩dev墨, fifth of the pa帽caprak峁泃is is the presiding deity over the five 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉 and She is of the form of those 辫谤腻峁嘺蝉. She is exceptionally beautiful endowed with all fortunes and happiness, sublime and serious, and the consort of 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 and as eternal and equally endowed with divine attributes as the lord. She is formless also, above and beyond attributes, unattached and detached, and not visible even to the great Devas and munis by the naked eye. Her clothes even Agni would not burn. She was born, in V膩r膩ha Kalpa as the daughter of V峁涐梗abh膩nu, and because her sacred feet trod over this land, 叠丑腻谤补迟补 (India) became holy. Once 叠谤补丑尘腻 did tapas for 60,000 years to have a glimpse of the 顿别惫墨鈥檚 lotus feet, but could not. People were able to see her only after she, in unbounded compassion for the world, incarnated herself in 痴峁沶诲腻惫补苍补 (See 笔谤补办峁泃颈).

A峁兣沘r奴pa(s)鈥攑artial manifestations of 顿别惫墨.

The above discussion was concerned with the five forms of the 顿别惫墨 in her full and complete forms. Now, there are six other 顿别惫墨s, who are partial manifestations or born from certain parts of the 顿别惫墨.

骋补峁単腻诲别惫墨.

This 顿别惫墨 who flows in the form of water and washes off men鈥檚 sins takes her origin from the body of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. (There is another story which traces 骋补峁単腻鈥檚 origin to the 础峁囜笉补 (egg or seed) of 叠谤补丑尘腻). (See 骋补峁単腻).

罢耻濒补蝉墨.

She is the lover and also the servant at the feet of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. She also washes off men鈥檚 sins and promotes their welfare. (See 罢耻濒补蝉墨).

惭补苍补蝉腻诲别惫墨

惭补苍补蝉腻诲别惫墨, who was born as a daughter of 碍补艣测补辫补 is another partial incarnation of 惭补丑腻尘腻测腻. She is a great 迟补辫补蝉惫颈苍墨, a favourite disciple of 艢补峁卥补谤补, unique in learning and erudition, sister of Ananta (the king of Serpents), the presiding deity of Mantras, wife of 闯补谤补迟办腻谤耻 muni and mother of 膧蝉迟墨办补 muni. (See 惭补苍补蝉腻诲别惫墨).

顿别惫补蝉别苍腻诲别惫墨.

Since this 顿别惫墨 has been born out of a sixth part of 惭补丑腻尘腻测腻 she is called 峁�a峁ａ弓h墨dev墨 also. It is this 顿别惫墨, who gives children to living beings and also protects them. For one year from the birth of a child this 顿别惫墨 should be worshipped. Those who cannot afford it should worship 顿别惫墨 on the 6th or 21st day after a child is born. (See 顿别惫补蝉别苍腻).

惭补峁単补濒补肠补峁囜笉颈办腻.

She is born from the face of 惭奴濒补辫谤补办峁泃颈. Anybody who propitiates and pleases her will be the recipient of all good things like sons and grandsons, wealth, reputation, welfare etc. (See Ma峁単alaca峁囜笉ik膩).

叠丑奴尘颈诲别惫墨.

She is the basis for all things, soil for the origin of the vegetable kingdom, the treasure house of all gems and the very incarnation of compassion and sympathy. (See Bh奴midev墨).

础峁兣沘办补濒腻诲别惫墨(蝉).

Another class of dev墨s who are also partial manifestations of the Supreme 顿别惫墨. They are born out of the parts of 惭补丑腻诲别惫墨. The following are the A峁兣沘kal膩dev墨s.

This 顿别惫墨 was not seen anywhere in the world during 碍峁泃补测耻驳补. She began to appear in a subtle form here and there during 罢谤别迟腻测耻驳补. In 诲惫腻辫补谤补测耻驳补 she attained more growth and then her limbs and organs became doubly strong.

(see below).

尝补箩箩腻dev墨.

(For 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 creation individual souls with the will for action are necessary. He cannot create a soul of his own. So death is a pre-condition of creation, birth. If there is no death there is no birth also. There is a school of thought which maintains that if there is no death but only birth there will not be space on earth for the living, and therefore birth will stop if there is no death.).

Aditi, mother of the Devas, Diti, mother of the Asuras, Surabhi, mother of cows, 碍补诲谤奴, mother of serpents and 痴颈苍补迟腻, mother of 骋补谤耻岣峚蝉 are also involved in the process of creation, and they are born out of parts of 顿别惫墨.

Idol of 顿别惫墨.

There are special injunctions for making idols of the 顿别惫墨 for installation in temples. Ca峁囜笉ik膩dev墨 should have twenty hands. The hands on the right side should hold 艢奴濒补, sword, disc, cord, 岣峚尘补谤耻, 艣补办迟颈 etc. and the hands on the left side should hold 苍腻驳补辫腻艣补, flag, club, mirror etc. (There are also idols with slight differences from the above).

尝补办峁�m墨dev墨 would hold in her right hand the lotus flower and a K奴vala fruit in the left. 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨dev墨 will have in her hands books, 补办峁�a尘腻濒腻 and 惫墨峁嚹�. 骋补峁単腻dev墨 rides on a makaramatsya (fish) holding in her hands a pot and lotus flowers. Yamun膩dev墨 rides the turtle with a pot in hand and she is blue in colour.

Now, about the saptam膩t峁泂. Tumburu, white in colour, and mounted on an ox rests on a 艣奴la with 惫墨峁嚹� in hand before the 惭腻迟峁泂. Among the 惭腻迟峁泂 叠谤腻丑尘墨 has four faces, wears the 补办峁�a尘腻濒腻 and holds the ak峁�ap膩tra etc. in her left hand. She is seated on a swan. 艢腻峁卥补谤墨 (惭腻丑别艣惫补谤墨) is white in colour. She has in her right hand bow and arrows, and the disc and bow in her left hand. The ox is her vehicle. 碍补耻尘腻谤墨 is seated on the peacock. She has two hands in one of which is held 艢akti (Vel). 尝补办峁�m墨 has in her right hand the conch and disc, and the club and the lotus flower in her left hand. 痴腻谤腻丑墨 rides the buffalo with staff, sword, club and conch in her hands. 滨苍诲谤腻峁嚹� is seated on the club, holding diamond in her hands. She has a thousand eyes. 颁腻尘耻峁囜笉墨 has three eyes and is without flesh in the body. Her hairs are raised above. She holds in her left hand elephant鈥檚 skin and 艣奴la in the right hand. At times she is seated on a corpse also.

Now, about the idols of the eight 础峁僢腻蝉. Rudra Carccik膩 holds a skull, 艢奴濒补 and cord in her hands. She wears elephant鈥檚 skin, her legs slightly held up. She becomes Rudrac膩mu峁囜笉膩 when she assumes eight hands, and holds the skull and the 岣峚尘补谤耻. And in dancing pose she is called Na峁璭艣var墨, and with four faces 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨. She is called Siddhac膩mu峁囜笉膩 when she assumes the form with ten hands and three eyes, and when she eats men, horses and buffaloes. In this form she holds in her right hand the sword, 岣峚尘补谤耻 etc. and in her left hand the 罢谤颈艣奴濒补, bell etc. Since the 顿别惫墨 is sarvasiddhiprad膩yik膩 (giver of all divine attainments or assets) she is Siddhayoge艣var墨 also. There is also another 顿别惫墨 in this very form who holds the 辫腻艣补 and A峁僰u艣a in her hand and who is slightly red in colour. She is called 叠丑补颈谤补惫墨. When 叠丑补颈谤补惫墨 assumes the form with twelve hands she is called R奴pavidy膩. All the above eight 顿别惫墨s were born in burial grounds and are Raudram奴rtis. They are known as the A峁ａ弓膩mb膩s.
