Salutations to (Kamesvara (Sri Mata) Who is seated on the lap of Siva, the conqueror of desire
The Devas beseeched for the annihilation of the demon Bhandasura. Mahasambhu, from his third eye, birthed Chidagni, the fire of consciousness. From this sacred fire, Devi emerged, and her form has been intricately described from names 6 to 45. Upon fully emerging from the Chidagni, Devi surveyed the assembly of Devas, who had regained their forms with renewed vigor, and the other gods.
Mother Divine’s gaze settled on Parama Siva, who watched her with a gentle smile. As she stepped out of the Chidagni, the anklets crafted from precious gems on her feet chimed sweetly and melodiously. She moved towards Parama Siva with the graceful gait of a Hamsa.
The assembled Deva Muni Ganas, utterly captivated by her beauty, praised her features, addressing her as Mahā-lāvanya-śevadhiḥ. Clad in red garments and adorned with gem-studded ornaments that dispel the darkness of ignorance, she approached the ash-smeared, dreadlocked Mahasambhu.
Brahma Deva perceived Devi’s beauty as surpassing that of Maha Sambhu. Sensing Brahma’s thoughts, Maha Sambhu transformed into Kāmeśvarā, capable of assuming any desired form. Devi then adorned Kāmeśvarā with a garland. Nearby, Lord Mahavishnu, performing Kanya Daan, gave Devi in marriage to Kāmeśvarā.
Following this, Devi and Kāmeśvarā were coronated as Emperor and Empress. Kāmeśvarā seated himself on the Pancha bhramasana, and Devi majestically took her place on his left thigh, thus known as Śiva-kāmeśvarāṅkasthā
Vedic Mantra Wisdom:
Śiva represents the supreme Para Brahman, transcending the three gunas and embodying the state of Trigunatetha. In this formless, Nirguna state, there is neither creation, sustenance, nor dissolution. When it became necessary to assign bodies to the jivas based on their karma vasanas, who were obliterated during the great dissolution or pralaya,
He assumed a form, becoming Eśvarā. The emergence of the desire to create, known as Iccha, the knowledge for creation, termed Gynana, and the act of creation itself, Kriya, all manifest within Eśvarā, hence His identification as Kāmeśvarā.
Those seeking the fulfillment of their desires can meditate on Kāmeśvarā’s Sankalpa or Iccha to create, thus realizing their aspirations. Kāmeśvarā’s Sankalpa is embodied in Lalitha Upasana, where she is revered as His Sankalpa Sakthi, Kāmeśvari.
Prior to the Sankalpa being created, He was known as Śiva; following this intent, He became Śivakāmeśvarā. Kāmeśvarā’s Sankalpa, originating from within Him and being an integral part of Him, is symbolized by Her seating on His lap. T
His concept mirrors the creative process in humans, such as a painter, sculptor, or writer. Their creation starts with a desire (Iccha Sakthi), is shaped by their knowledge (Gynana Sakthi), and materializes through their action (Kriya Sakthi), using mediums like paint, stone, or paper. This process reflects how Sakthi resides in Śiva, with desire and knowledge intrinsic to their being.
