Ambaal is an ocean of compassion
and grace. So when a devotee seeks the identity with Her by the two simple words
‘bhavAni
tvaM’, She doesn’t
wait for his further words; She simply grants the sAyujya-status ‘then and there’! But the
irony of it is, he, the devotee, considers himself too low in the spiritual
ladder to merit anything great and he has no conception of what honourable
return from the Goddess awaits him.
‘Just a glance towards this poor
me, Oh Mother!’ - this is all what he pleads
for. Note that the poet uses the word ‘yah’, meaning, ‘whoever’. So the devotee does not have to be a
great ‘sAdhu’. He could be any one. He may not
even know that there is a status called ‘sAyujyam with ambaal’!
The couple of words ‘bhavAni tvaM’ has such an effect even on
ordinary persons who recite it.
