Transcript

Devi Meenakshi's Conquest of Other Universes

Devi Meenakshi's Conquest of Other Universes.

In the Skanda Purana, we find a reference to Devi Meenakshi's advent to various lokas and Her battle with the beings who reside there.

mahendrasya purīṃ pūrvaṃ parivṛtyāmarāvatīm ।
parābhavaṃ devatānāṃ kārayāmāsa kanyakā ॥
tyaktvā vajraṃ vāhanaṃ ca natvā śakreṇa bhīruṇā ।
samarpitaṃ kalpavṛkṣaṃ kamadhenuṃ pragṛhya ca ॥

When Devi Meenakshi marched on to the city of Indra, Amaravati, all the Devatas were astounded at the sight of a young warrior girl, so powerful, that she defeated all the kings with such ease. Everyone just surrendered to Her either through fear or respect. Indra offered various gifts namely his thunderbolt, the Vajra, Airavata, Kalpavriksha and Kamadhenu.

She marched in the southeastern direction to the city of Agni. Agni offered various divine garments, gold, and jewels. Moving on to the southern direction, the direction of Yama, She was gifted sapphire and many other precious jewels. She moved with Her massive army with an astounding force to other lokapalas namely of Nirriti, Varuna, Vaayu and Kubera.

She finally reached the golden city of Kailasa. She defeated the Shiva Ganas placed on the outer periphery of Kailasa for protection. She moved on to the inner periphery of Kailasa. She defeated even Nandi who was placed at the gates of Kailasa.

yadā taṭātakā devī nirgatā digjayāya ca ।
tadānīmeva sahasā hālāsyeśo dayānidhiḥ॥
svayamaṃśena nirgatya mahāliṅgānmaheśvaraḥ ।
taptakāñcana saṅkāśo mahātejassamanvitaḥ ॥

Devi Tatataka’s ( Meenakshi's birthname ) eyes finally fell on Paramashiva who was sitting, blissfully smiling at her. The moment Her eyes met His, Her third breast disappeared. She realized Her true identity as Parashakti, as Paramashiva’s ardhangini. She merged into the bright golden light of Paramashiva. Devi Tatataka who defeated the whole Universe with such ease just surrendered to Paramashiva.
