The Divine Mother’s toenails’
radiance or illuminating splendor eliminates completely the ignorance and
darkness from HER devotees who surrender (prostrate) at HER feet.
HER feet are not
visible to normal humans. Ancient scholars had commented that Bramha and Vishnu
were indirectly referred as devotees here in seeking more knowledge and power from
the Divine Mother.
HER toenails are
spreading light in the ground under HER feet. When a devotee touches HER feet,
the light from HER toenails reaches the devotee’s head. This process takes away
the devotee’s ignorance. Thus the Divine Mother does not need any special means
or efforts to eliminate the devotee’s darkness/ignorance. The darkness cannot
stand HER toenail’s power or light.
Essentially, touching
HER feet takes away all the impurities from the mind of an exhaled devotee.
Such instances are quoted well in the Mastsya Purana and the Padma purana which
are part of eighteen major ancient puranas in Hindusim. The Padma purana is
named after lotus. This is a form of mediation on Lord Krishna (Mahavishnu).
In summary, this namam
means that the Divine Mother removes the ignorance of the devotees who surrender
at HER feet.Her feet defeats the beauty of a Lotus.
