the corresponding meanings/ analogies in 20+ Upanishads, various mantras, Brahma Sootram, Devee Bhagavatam, Maha Shodanyasam, Nitya Shodashikarnavam, different Sootras, Shiva and other Puranas, Soundaryalaharee, Sree Lalita Trisatee, Sree Lalitopakyanam, Sree Varivasya Rahasyam, Sreemad Bhagavad Geeta, Sree Vidyasaparyapaddhati, Sruti, Smrutis, Vishnu Sahasranama and what not? For instance 712th name Ee has explanations/ references running for 5 pages and the irony is that the smallest name and has got the longest explanation. The forty verses called Paribhasha stotras is a self-contained research paper on Lalita Sahasranama. It is perfect allegory. At the outset the surface meaning of these verses is as praising and bowing Sree Devee. But the deep inner meaning is that, it explains the structure of all the thousand names - the starting letter of every name, etc. It is a delight to read these verses. This book does not intend scholarly readers, but expects a very common audience and hence very fluid language is used. All the best to all readers.
