yajamAnasvarUpini : Sacrificer

 

One form of Siva is Diksita [ sacrificer] and his spouse is called

DiksA and the mother of SantAna. The Linga and VAyu Pr. says, "The

seventh terrible form is the form of the BrAhmanas, the sacrificer and

his wife is called DiksA, and his son SantAna. " of Siva's eight forms

the last is some times called the sacrificer and sometimes Atman. This

name in that case may be explained to mean both thus : yajamAna, the

sacrificer and Sva, the Self, rUpa, both are her forms. The Linga Pr.

says, "The five elements, the moon, sun, and Self, the best of munis

say, are the eight forms of the Lord of Devas. The Eight form of him

is self and also the sacrificer".

She embodies the vow of sacrifice.

 

Yajamana is one who takes the vow of sacrifice. She is the form of

that vow. Yajamana is also considered the Eighth of the Asta-Murthis

of Forms of Siva.

Sahasranama, 1962
