In Namams 199 to 248, the Divine Mother’s Saguna or infiniteness power and glory are described.
The Divine Mother’s eyes are long and beautiful. They are like the pedals of the lotus flower.
Padma is lotus; The lotus pond is very dirty under the stem are with cross roots and water being very muddy. The lotus flourish in such pankaja ( dirty) environment and still gives a pure lotus worth offering to the divinities. Lotus is a synonym for purity; also the lotus leaf does not hold water in it as water drop down immediately. Likewise the Divine Mother has all good and bad in this universe which is under Her control; yet She is very pure and beautiful like the lotus petals, reddish in colour; She is unattached to anything in this universe like a lotus leaf. Her eyes are beautiful; those eyes are long and give cool comfort in Her looks; they see only the good in everything.
The lotus eye in any universal being is an indication that the soul reaching the higher status. Even for the souls in early stages having this kind of eyes is an indication of such souls is moving up to higher status.
Lord Krishna is
referred in wisdom form; His body structure is close to the Divine Mother’s
form. However, Her infinite state cannot be changed for which Her lotus eyes
are clear example of wisdom within Her. The Divine mother is Padma nayana.
Goddess Lalitha Devi as Padma nayana.
