Devishataka 82

82

Always meditated upon by sincere masters of self-control, learned by those who have constantly taken up recitation, / standing in the supreme direction of the Unborn, you ceaselessly bestow auspicious blessings. || 81 || / (Because of the connection of a net-like design made with two gomūtrikā-bandha patterns, this is a jālabandha.) / O Devī, ceaselessly, constantly, you bestow, you grant, auspicious blessings. What kind of auspicious blessings? Always, at all times, meditated upon, contemplated, by the sincere, honest masters of self-control who have conquered their senses; and likewise, well practiced, repeated, by those who have undertaken the recitation of mantras; furthermore, standing in the supreme direction of the Unborn—standing in the highest Brahman, the realm of Viṣṇu, which is exceedingly exalted, mighty, and principal—they have come from the supreme Brahman, such is the purport. Along with the preceding unrecognizable chiming stanza, this gomūtrikā-bandha forms a jālabandha. Some, however, draw the net-pattern with this gomūtrikā-bandha alone; in the consideration of what is proper and improper regarding suitable arrangement, poets who know the principles of applying the net and are skilled in composing citrakāvya are the authority. || 81 || / Devī, resorting in truth to you, the sister of Hari, / people, having cast off evil through yoga and having played, know their own essential nature. || 82
