Am going to share just these two words with all in the very beginning, since I wants to share the LS very extensively.
Sindhuraruna vigraham- Why devi should be invoked like this? She is the same Mathangi as green colour, kali as black one, shyama as bluish-green and so on. Why this particular colour should be think off? The very reason is the sakthi residing inside us in the form of kundali. The kundali sakthi will raise only with the help of ganapathy and it is the Adhara of "Moola"- Origin and hence named as "Mooladhara". The color of this chakra is Red and hence, devi is initially thought with this colour.
Also, when you see some familiar slokas like Meenakshi pancharatnam, Abirami andhadhi, they all start in the similar fashion only as "Udhyad banu sahasra kodi chadrusaam", "Udhikindra senkadhir"- all meaning to the colour of red. If you want to get the grace of amba very soon, we should do dhyana thinking her as red-coloured.
In this dhyana, why is it so-called an union of "Sindhura+Aruna". Both are same dark-red in colour only. The reason is sindhura shows the sign of prosperity (mangala vasthu) and aruna shows the sign of coolness (Note: Only sun is considered as hot and the period of Aruna is considered to be cool and people really enjoy the time of arunodaya. Never get confused with arunodhaya and suryodhaya. They are not the same). Similarly not only the colour of amba is red, her actual form is very divine filled and with cool and compassion towards her bhaktha. So only both have been used here. If vasini devathas said her colour will be like of aruna or sindhur, we can come to a conclusion of that very particular colour. At the sametime, when a combo of two things which cannot be mixed at all has been given as a comparison, they actually leave us that the red-colour of amba is beyond explanation.
Vigraham- Usually an idol is termed as "Vigraha". In tamil, we claim a child as "Swarna vigraham mari kuzhandhai irukku- It means the child looks like golden idol". But in this dhyana, the amba who is the "paramathma" is invoked and the term used is for mere idol. Why is it so? Dhyana is the kind of meditation thinking of a "vasthu" (material) which is not shaking or moving or vanishing or simply which is not changing its any traits. Then only the dhyana will be in success. If we think of amba as krishna and doing many lilas, we starts concentrating of those lilas leaving the dhyana. So, to keep ourself tightly immerse in the dhyana amba has taken a form of red-coloured devatha and she remains herself as a vigraha.
Thrinayanam- Even the word denoting numeral "three" has been went from our sanskrit.
She has three-eyes. (Who has three eyes- We can see here that devi saraswathi also possess three eyes with the eye of knowledge on her forehead. Also she being the mithuna of shiva, she is equal to shiva in all aspects. The other mithunas (twins) created by Mahasakthi are Vishnu--Kali and Brahma--Lakshmi. As in my previous post suggested, this part of hymn can be taken in praise of saraswathi). Only in saivism 5 equalities have been provided to shakthi equal to shiva. They are equality of place, origination, forms, state, and names. Of these Roopa samyam (equality of forms) is achieved by this thrinayana.
Why this thrinayana? Is two eyes not enough for her? The thrid eye denotes that the knowledge possessed by her. Also her three eyes are there to see the past, present and future. The three eyes also symbolises Icchha, kriya and gnana (the forms of shakthi). A sadhaka should concentrate of sakthi as three-eyed in the place where his two eye-brows meet, so that he will achieve the yoga sadhana very soon as even the sadhaka too possess the third eye, which is shut due to Kanma and Maya.
