[Advaita-l] Umā Haimavatī - Kenopanishat and Lalitāsahasranāma

[V Subrahmanian]

Umā Haimavatī is the expression in the Kenopanishad 3.2.

शोभमानामुमां हैमवतीं ...

Shankara explains the term Haimavati as follows: 1. One who is adorned with
golden ornaments and 2. as the daughter of Himavān and the consort of the
Omniscient Iśwara.

In the Lalitāsahasranāma (LS), it is noteworthy, these two distinct names
appear in the *same sequence *as in the Kenopanishad:

उमा शैलेन्द्रतनया - Umā, Śailendratanayā. This latter name means "the
daughter of the Lord of mountains, Himavān."

In the Upanishad the name Haimavatī is an adjective to Umā while in the LS,
the two are distinct names.
