The para-brahma-Shakti exhibits itself into five
functions. Thus we have a five-fold aspect of brahma-Shakti, created by itself
from itself. So these five aspects are represented in a peculiar form where
KAmeshvari is sitting on the left lap
of KAmeshvara. The seat on which they
are sitting facing the East, has four legs, namely Brahma (Creation), Vishnu
(Sustenance), Shiva (Dissolution), and
Ishvara (mAyic curtain); the seat
itself is SadAshiva (mokshha-anugraha). These five are called the five
‘Brahman-s’ . And this explains the name ‘panca-brahma-Asana-sthitA’ for the
Goddess.
