Iti Shree Maanasaa Devee Ashtottara Shatanaamaavalee
Meaning
The Sri Manasa Devi Ashtottara Shatanaamaavali is a list of 108 names of Manasa, the goddess of serpents. Nearly every name begins Om Sri. Three layers run through it: her Puranic story, the way she is worshipped, and one specific shrine.
Her story
The fourth name, Kashyapa Manasa Putrika, gives her birth from the mind of Kashyapa. Names like Nirantara Dhyananishtha and Shiva Sakshatkara Siddhi Da speak of her long penance. Jaratkaru Patni and Astika Mata make her the wife of the sage Jaratkaru and the mother of Astika, and Janamejaya Sarpa Yaga Vidhvamsini with Takshaka Prana Rakshini recall how Astika halted the snake sacrifice in the Mahabharata.
Serpent worship
The middle of the list is all about nagas. She guards Nagaloka, is served by the nine nagas, wears a serpent crown and a serpent sacred thread. Kshirabhisheka Priya and Valmika Puja Santushta point straight at the village custom of pouring milk into an anthill, and Naga Panchami Puja Phala Pradayini names the day for it. Hamsavahini and Padmapithavasini describe her riding a swan and seated on a lotus.
Shrine and bija names
Toward the end come Brahmakunda kshetra, bathing in the Godavari and a valmika temple, then names built on the bijas hrim, shrim, klim and aim, five names for a guru called Sridhara, and the last name, Sarvashubhankarini. It is read most on Naga Panchami and on the panchami days of Shravana.
