Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Three alternative interpretations, based on three meanings of the word Yuga; namly (1) axle-pin; (2) pair; and (3)a cycle of time: (1) She protects the chariot of the Universe by serving as its axle pin. (2) Her form is the pairing of Shiva-Shakti. (3) Her form is the Cycle of Time. - Dr. C.
