Iti Shree Lalitaashtottara Shatanaamaavali
Meaning
A list that opens on Kailasa
This Lalitha ashtottaram first presents the Goddess as Shiva's consort. Its opening name, Rajatachala Shringagra Madhyasthayai, places her on the summit of Kailasa, the silver mountain. The next names call her the one who sanctified Himavan's line, the half of Shankara's body, and the beloved of the moon-crested lord. By name 7 the Sri Vidya thread appears, as she is said to be one with the fifteen-syllable Panchadashi mantra.
From crown to feet
Names 8 to 30 form a head-to-foot portrait: a crown of diamond and ruby, a musk tilaka, a line of sacred ash, eyes like opened lotus petals, gold earrings, and a smile coloured by tambula. The mangalya tied by Girisha, hands holding lotus, noose and goad, and feet glowing like padmaraga close the description.
Her city, her yantra, her battles
The list then turns to where she lives: the Kamakoti lotus seat, the centre of the Chakraraja, the house of chintamani gems, and Manidvipa in the ocean of nectar. Name 47, Chidagnikunda Sambhuta, recalls her rising from the fire of pure consciousness. Lopamudra, Agastya and Durvasa appear as her worshippers. From name 85 come the battles with Bhandasura, Chanda, Munda, Nishumbha and Mahishasura.
Name 79, Namaparayanabhishta Phaladayai, describes the practice itself: she grants what is sought by those who recite her names. The last names show her with the sugarcane bow and flower arrows, ever young, joined with Mahadeva.
