Meaning
An alphabetical garland
This namavali moves roughly through the Sanskrit alphabet. It opens with Anadyayai, the one without beginning, then Ayonijayai, not born from a womb, Akasharupinyai, whose form is space, and Adityamandalagatayai, present in the orb of the sun. Indranyai, Indrarchitayai and Induchudayai carry the letter i, and Ugrachandayai and Unmattakeshinyai carry u.
Fierce forms and battles
Kalajihvayai, Guhyakalikayai and Bagalayai recall her fierce forms. Kaitabhasuramardinyai, Madhukaitabhasamhartryai and Nishumbhahantryai point to the battles told in the Devi Mahatmyam, and Yoganidrayai names the sleep that held Vishnu before he fought Madhu and Kaitabha. Ravanacchedakarinyai also appears in this run.
Consort of Shiva and mother of the worlds
Chandrashekharavallabhayai, Nilakanthamanoramayai, Virupakshamanoramayai and Parvatanandinyai praise her as Parvati, beloved of Shiva. Gopakulodbhavayai remembers the goddess born among the cowherds of Gokula. For those who practise upasana, Muladharanivasinyai, Bindunadasvarupinyai and Mantratmikayai bring in the language of yoga and mantra. Naimisharanya and Badari appear as places where she lives. The list closes with Sri Devi Lokamatayai, mother of all the worlds.
The text does not name its source. It is most often recited during Navaratri and in Friday kumkum archana.
