اے دیویشِی! تینوں لوکوں میں جو کچھ بھی ‘ہستی’ کہہ کر پکارا جاتا ہے، اس کی صورت دراصل تیری ہی ہے، اے دیوی؛ اور وہ پہاڑوں میں بھی قائم ہے۔
Devas (collective praise to the Devī)
Tirtha: Arbuda-parvata (as representative of parvata-śakti)
Type: peak
Scene: A panoramic tri-loka tableau dissolves into the Goddess’s form; mountains appear as her body—peaks as crown, forests as hair—while the devotee realizes ‘all existence is You’.
FAQs
