I
was saying that there are many shlokas
where we cannot in any way infer what results will accrue from a mantra-japam of the shloka.
shloka #35, for instance, says that ambaal lives in the six chakras as the five elements
and the mind. It is said that this shloka has
the effect of curing tuberculosis. Obviously there seems to be no connection.
Like this there are several shlokas where the meaning and the
results said to accrue from it are totally disconnected. It all means that the
vibrations of the sounds created, the words themselves, not their meanings,
have that effect.
We may make a doll in the shape of a red chili, with sugar as
the material base; the outer will look like a hot chili, whereas the whole material
is sweet. In the same way the meanings of the words may be something, but the
power of the words as a mantra may be something else.
