Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 46: Shri Sinjana Mani Manijira Mandita Sripadambuja (OM shi ~ njAnamaNima ~ njIramaNDitashrIpadAmbujAyai namaH)


The Divine Mother wears gem studded golden anklets in HER auspicious lotus feet. As SHE walks these anklets tinkle sweetly.

We have seen earlier that the Divine Mother came out of the yoga fire lit by the devargal seeking HER help to destroy the Pandasuran, the evil force. From the fire as she walked towards the devargal, the anklets in her auspicious lotus feet produced tinkling sound. The devargal on hearing such sweet sound got immense happiness and confidence in getting HER help.

This namam is associated with the sound. The unique characteristic nature of the (celestial) sky is sound. This has evolved into the immeasurable creation. To create is an action. If any action takes place it is natural to produce sound. The sound produced here is unstuck or unheard to normal humans. During deep meditation, the Divine Mother’s worshippers had heard HER anklets musical tinkle.

Sinjana: the sound of ankle
