The
fact that ambaal graces and bestows the
faculty of speech is mentioned in the latter part of Soundaryalahari several
times. shloka #75 says that, fed by Her
breast milk one is endowed with magnificient poetic capabilities. shloka 99 says that the SArasvata-Grace that She endows makes even Brahma, the
pati of Sarasvati, envious. The
holy water that washes Her feet can make even the dumb to sing poems (shloka 98).
Obviously our Acharya takes pleasure in
talking about this aspect of ambaaL’s Grace. Maybe he wants us
all to read and recite his stotras, thereby get the Grace of
the Mother and also get the vAk-siddhi (speech excellence) that She
will certainly grant. That is why, it appears, he is never tired of repeating
this.
