Meaning
This is a list of 108 names of Bagalamukhi, the eighth of the ten Mahavidyas and the goddess of stambhana, the arresting of hostile speech and movement. The same names make up the Bagala Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, which describes itself as part of the Vishnu Yamala, spoken by Vishnu to Narada. The list opens with Bagala, Vishnuvanita and Vishnushankarabhamini, joining her to both Vishnu and Shiva from the first lines.
The avatars
The first two dozen names walk through the Dashavatara. She is Mahamatsya and Mahakurma, then the Varaha form, Narasimhapriya, Vamana as the boy Vatu, Jamadagnyasvarupa for Parashurama, Rama and Krishna, and finally Kalkirupa and Kalihara, who ends the troubles of the Kali age.
Clusters of sound
The middle of the list is grouped by opening syllable. A run beginning with ka gives Kevala, Kathina, Kali and Kaivalyadayini; a run with na gives Nakshatrarupa, Nagajanani, Nageshvari and Nagatmaja, daughter of the mountain king. A row of colours follows: Pita, Shyama, Rakta, Nila and Shveta.
Stambhana and Lanka
Later names state her particular work: Riputrasakari, Shatrusamharakarini, Mayastambhini and Paratantravinashini, the one who undoes rites worked by others. Four names in a row tie her to the war in Lanka, ending with Maharavanaharini.
The last five names are all yellow, from Pitavasana to Pitasvarupini, which is why she is called Pitambara and worshipped with yellow flowers. Devotees chant the list on Thursdays and on Bagalamukhi Jayanti, Vaishakha Shukla Ashtami.
