Quotes:Vaijayanti

H. P. Blavatsky

Vaijayantî. The magic necklace of Vishnu, imitated by certain Initiates among the temple Brahmans. It is made of five precious stones, each symbolizing one of the five elements of our Round; namely, the pearl, ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond, or water, fire, earth, air and ether, called “the aggregate of the five elemental rudiments” — the word “powers” being, perhaps, more correct than “rudiments”.
