They have been explained by Âdi Nâtha (Shiva) and give eight kinds of divine wealth. They are loved by all the Siddhas and are hard to attain even by the Marutas. Note - The eight Aiśwaryas are: Aṇimâ (becoming small, like an atom), Mahimâ (becoming great, like âkâs, by drawing in atoms of Prakṛiti), Garimâ (light things, like cotton becoming very heavy like mountains.) Prâpti (coming within easy reach of everything; as touching the moon with the little finger, while standing on the earth.) Prâkâmya (non-resistance to the desires, as entering the earth like water.) Îsatâ (mastery over matter and objects made of it.) Vaśitwa (controlling the animate and inanimate objects.)
