Adhyaya 64 — Kalavati (Vibhavari) Offers Herself and the Padmini Vidya to Svarocisha
यस्या वत्स प्रभावेण विद्यायास्तां गृहाण मे ।
पद्मिनी नाम विद्येयं महापद्माभिपूजिता ॥
yasyā vatse prabhāveṇa vidyāyās tāṃ gṛhāṇa me / padminī nāma vidyeyaṃ mahāpadmābhipūjitā
Hỡi con, hãy nhận từ ta vidyā ấy, nhờ năng lực của nó mà mọi việc này được thành tựu. Vidyā này được gọi là ‘Padminī’, và được Mahāpadmā vô cùng tôn kính phụng thờ.
Power is framed as transmissible through grace and right relationship (guru/daivī-bestowal). The ‘accept’ (gṛhāṇa) emphasizes receptivity, responsibility, and worthy use of bestowed capacities.
Manvantara (and indirectly Vaṃśānucarita-style episode): it situates a specific empowerment tradition within a time-cycle, showing how beings in that manvantara gain boons and capacities.
Padminī (‘lotus’) indicates unfolding purity and sovereignty amid the world; Mahāpadmā’s veneration suggests the vidyā is anchored in an archetype of abundance that remains unstained (like a lotus).
