Elaboration
Anangga Madana presents the Goddess as both Anangga, the bodiless one, and Madana, the awakener of love. The name places her in direct relation to Kamadeva, who is also called Anangga after Shiva burns away his visible form. Here Kali is shown not merely as connected with the power of love, but as its deeper source and sovereign.
Anangga: The Bodiless Principle Anangga literally means "without body" or "without limbs." It refers to Kamadeva after Lord Shiva's third eye reduces him to ashes for disturbing his meditation. Even without physical form, however, love and desire continue to work through creation. When this epithet is applied to Kali, it points to her subtle, all-pervading nature. She is not confined to any single form, though all forms arise through her Shakti.
Madana: She Who Awakens Love Madana means "the one who inflames or incites love." It is also a name of Kamadeva. Applied to Kali, it shows her as the source and ruler of attraction, desire, and delight, both worldly and divine. She is the creative urge that draws beings together and the inner sweetness that gives life its movement.
The Supreme Power of Kama As Anangga Madana, Kali is the supreme awakener of love, prior even to Kamadeva himself. The force she stirs is not limited to sensual desire. It is Iccha Shakti, the primordial will that brings creation forth, holds it together, and turns the heart toward what it seeks most deeply. In devotees, this same power appears as devotion, Viraha Bhakti, and the longing for liberation, Mumukshutva. Because she governs desire at its root, she can also free it from bondage and guide it toward divine union. She is the divine magnet drawing all things back to their ultimate source.
