Dear SandhyA worshippers : few days ago ,there was a question from Sriman Sudarsan Parthasarathy ,If I remember right , on a manthram visualizing gayathri at MadhyAhnika sandhi as seated on Rishabha Vaahanam and of Rudra Roopam . Here is a clue as to where it might have come from . > As you know, smArta-s have most of their sandhya guidelines >from devi bhAgavatham. I read in book (published by LIFCO) >that even shrIvaishnavas refer to it. Is it so? Devi Bhagavtham is a huge book and covers a lot of ground including incidents referred to in the other purAnams. It glorifies DEvi (Sri LalithA ParamEsvari in Her many forms ) as the Supreme deity . Sri VaishNavAs are not very familar with it and do not make use of it as a source grantham for their needs. V.Sadagopan
