Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 42: Shri Gudha Gulpha (OM gUDhagulphAyai namaH)


The Divine Mother’s round and solid ankles are hidden from view by the hem of HER garment. The bones in the ankles are not visible outside. The compressed muscles are covering them. HER ankles are well filled and therefore without protrusion.

Hem: the edge of a piece of cloth or clothing which had been turned under and sewn such as the bottom edge of a skirt or dress that is folded over.

Gudha: means obscure, hidden, concealed, kept secret, covered, invisible

Gulpha: means ankles, marmas or vital points in human body namely muscular, vascular, ligament, bone and joints

This simple namam conveys the meaning that the Divine Mother has strong and beautiful hidden ankles.
