sadgatipradA : Leading into the right path.

 

 

Sadgati includes all stages from svarga to moksa; or sat, Brahman,

gati, knowledge; or sat, or wise, gati, goal. For it is said by great

men, "Thou art the way, thou alone art the way, O. BhavAni".

 

The PAdma Pr. says, "O King, he who worships {Devi] at the three

times on the fourtheenth day, goes to the supreme abode where Devi

is.. Having performed in a large or small scale, the rites according

to his means, he shines in the world of Rudra." Thus in four

chapters,

the above book treats of the rites and ceremonies of worship which

lead to all the worlds.
