Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 svAhA (1) She is the form of SvAhA, the word uttered when an oblation is offered in the sacrificial fire intended for a deity. (2) "su Aheti" or "Svam Aheti iti." The name also means su + Ah = svAhA, i.e., addressing in a good manner, or sva = AH = svAhA, one's own self. (3) "susthu AhUyate anayA iti." The formula by which oblation is offered appropriately. (4) svAn (= SvakIyAn) AjIhIte (= gacchati) svIyatvena samyak jAnAti iti." She who appears before Her devotees and accepts them as Her own. (5) SvAhA is the sakti of fire and the mother of KArttikeya (or, the wife of Siva in the form of fire). - Dr. L. M.
