[Advaita-l] Rudra and ambica

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste,
In commenting on the taittirIya samhitA 1.8.6.1, sAyaNAchArya says स्वसा
भगिनीवद्धितकारिण्याऽम्बिकया पार्वत्या सह - that is, she is called svasA
because she, like a sister, has his best interests. So भगिनीवत्, not भगिनी.

Can't share the commentary as an image, but one can look for the commentary
to the corresponding mantra here:

Regards,
Venkatraghavan
