दाक्षयज्ञप्रस्थान-प्रश्नः
Satī Inquires about the Departure for Dakṣa’s Sacrifice
सर्वथासीन्महाशोभा गमने जागदम्बिके । सुखारावस्संबभूव पूरितं भुवनत्रयम्
sarvathāsīnmahāśobhā gamane jāgadambike | sukhārāvassaṃbabhūva pūritaṃ bhuvanatrayam
Khi Jagadambikā lên đường, muôn bề đều rực rỡ huy hoàng. Tiếng hoan hỷ cát tường vang dậy, làm đầy khắp tam giới bằng âm thanh ấy.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages at Naimisharanya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Umāpati
Sthala Purana: Not a Jyotirliṅga episode; the verse portrays the cosmic auspiciousness (maṅgala-dhvani) that fills the three worlds as the Mother of the Universe sets forth—an archetype for śakti’s beneficent presence.
Significance: Affirms that Śiva-Śakti’s movements are cosmic events; hearing/participating in such maṅgala-śabda (auspicious acclaim) is meritorious and purifying.
Shakti Form: Jagadambikā
Role: nurturing
Offering: dipa
Cosmic Event: The ‘three worlds filled with sound’ frames the journey as a cosmic-scale auspicious event (maṅgala-dhvani pervading bhuvana-traya).
FAQs
The verse presents the Devi as Jagadambikā whose movement itself becomes a cosmic auspiciousness—her śakti harmonizes the three worlds, indicating that divine presence produces inner and outer mangala (blessedness) for devotees.
In Shaiva understanding, Shiva (Pati) and Shakti are inseparable; the ‘joyous sound filling the three worlds’ points to Saguna worship where the devotee experiences palpable auspicious signs—supporting devotional reverence to Shiva-Linga as the living axis of grace accompanied by the Devi’s power.
Take the verse as a cue for mangala-bhāvanā: begin worship with audible japa of the Panchākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” and a short prayer to Jagadambikā, cultivating the feeling that the heart-space is being ‘filled’ with auspicious sound and peace.
