Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati

Sanskrit

सुखासुखं महासौख्यरूपं त्वयि विभाव्यते ।

एवं देवि ! त्वया व्याप्तं सकलं निष्कलञ्च यत् ।

अद्वैतावस्थितं ब्रह्म यच्च द्वैते व्यवस्थितम् ॥

Transliteration

sukhāsukhaṃ mahāsaukhyarūpaṃ tvayi vibhāvyate /

evaṃ devi ! tvayā vyāptaṃ sakalaṃ niṣkalañca yat /

advaitāvasthitaṃ brahma yacca dvaite vyavasthitam

Translation

В Тебе созерцаются удовольствие и боль — и образ высшего блаженства. Потому, о Деви, Тобою всё пронизано: и составное, и бесчастное; Брахман, утверждённый в недвойственности, и также то, что утверждено в двойственности.

FAQs

Both worldly experience (pleasure/pain) and transcendent bliss are encompassed by Devī; likewise, both non-dual and dual devotional standpoints are valid within her pervasion—encouraging inclusive, practice-oriented spirituality.

Indirectly underpins dharma and cosmology by affirming one divine ground across all states; as Devi Mahatmyam it functions chiefly as dharma-upadeśa via devotion and praise.

The pairing sakala/niṣkala mirrors tantric metaphysics: the same Śakti is both manifest vibration and silent absolute; liberation is recognizing both as her.
