On the basis of this icchA -- the first wish, as it may be called, and
the Upanishad also says: ‘akAmayata’ - the
kriyA-shakti (the power of Action) begins the pancha-kRtya-leelA. Thus, what was the
paraBrahman by itself in itself, willed to ‘become’. It is for this divine will that the Upanishad uses the
word ‘kAma’, meaning desire.
This ‘desire’ is not to be taken in any derogatory
sense. It is pure Divine Will from Being to Becoming. Thus the first evolute
from Brahman is this divine kAma. So the
Shakti that is the origin of this
is called KAmeshvari and the ShivaM in
which this kAma sprouted is therefore called KAmeshwara.
