58

(Apparent solecism [apaśabdābhāsa])
O Devī, you are [present]. Manifesting what is to be illumined in the vision, that is, the intellect, of the wise—those possessed of knowing, understanding, and knowledge—by means of your nature as insight, your nature as discernment, you remain pure as the sun, having the sun's form. Of what nature are you? You are a row of clouds for cutting away the distress, the fatigue, of the harvest, which is none other than the men who are your dependents, devoted to your service. Because it gives the appearance of ungrammatical forms through “gṛhya”, “prajñātmanena”, “dṛśyasi”, and “vidvatām”, it is [an example of] the appearance of solecisms. 58.
