In Namams 275 to365, the Divine Mother’s many forms providing benefits to Her devotees in great details are discussed.
The Divine Mother is the moonlight that gives joy to those burned by the triple fire of misery.
The Divine Mother
inspires people suffering from three types of miseries, namely
·
Adhyatmika (from
one’s own body)
·
Adhibhautika (from
universal elements, except sky)
· Adhidaivika (from the Divine forces)
Chandrika is moon light. Like our own mother, the nature or Universal Mother has kindness. All the means provided by removing our sorrows is the proof for this, the Divine Mother’s kindness to Her devotees. As such, these three types of miseries are cleared by the Divine Mother with Her cool moonlight comfort.
Sorrows come from our body and mind is of the first type of misery; the universal elements (Fire, Water, Wind and Earth) cause sorrows which are second type; Wind can cause more harm than water, the fire causes harm to all universal creatures; Unexpected calamities caused by the Divine forces are third type of miseries.
Miseries are like
fire. Tapa in this Namam is heat. The Divine Mother acts like a moonlight of
joy which cools down the flames of miseries faced by Her devotees.
