129. Śaradcandranibhānanā
Her face emits the cool glow of the full moon in the month of Āśvayuja. The rainy season will then just be getting to a close and the skies are clear of dust, the moon shines coolly and brightly as the sun.
Coolness manifests in the head when thoughts are clear, sharply defined and bereft of vexing emotions. The emotions are swept away by the raining grace of the Devi. The moon is the symbol of the mind. The mind rests in the head. Thus, a cool and a bright moon a symbol for a dispassionate and clear-thinking mind. Such a mind is capable of receiving bliss by itself and also conferring this bliss on those who come in contact with it.
