vIta madhyatalOdharE vEda vidhita- meaning pls??

[HarishankarK]

Hi
Pl can I get the meaning
Thanks for the help

[Rajani]

One of the meanings of kAdamba is arrow. So kAdamba and daNDa refer to the flower arrows and sugarcane bow (ikshu daNDa) which Devi holds in her forms as Kamakshi or Lalitha.

Thank you
What about
vIta madhyatalOdharE vEda vidhita- meaning pls??
I asked for that line also

[Rajani]

"vIta madhya talOdharE" - O One with a slender(vIta, literally disappeared) waist(madhya) and abdomen(udara) just the size of a palm(tala) of one's hand!
vEda vidhita guNAkarE - O Respository of virtues, known by the Vedas!

Names like shAtOdarI and talOdarI are often found in Stotras and Kritis.

Now I see where size zero craze comes from
