Meaning
The Sri Indrani Ashtottara Shatanamavali has 108 names, and it opens with Indrakshi rather than Indrani: Om Indrakshi namnyai devyai namah, followed by daivataih samudahritayai, she who was named so by the gods. These two names turn the first line of the Indrakshi Stotram into salutations, and much of the list follows that hymn closely.
The Durga names
The first thirty names call her Gauri, Shakambhari, Katyayani, Chandraghanta and Kalaratri, several of the Navadurga forms. Name six, durganamniti vishrutayai, says she is known by the name Durga. Gayatri, Savitri and Brahmani follow, then fierce names such as Bhadrakali, Raudramukhi and Muktakeshi.
Indra's own Shakti
From name 39 the list turns to Indrani herself: Indrani, Indrarupa, Indrashaktiparayana. It then moves straight to Mahishasurasamhartri, Chamunda, Saptamatrika, Varahi and Narasimhi, which fits, since Aindri is one of the seven Mothers. Near name 90 comes the iconography: Airavatagajarudha, seated on the elephant Airavata, and Vajrahasta, holding the thunderbolt.
Healing and peace
Rogaharti and Sarvaroganivarini, remover of every illness, and Mrityunjaya all appear in the list. The last name, shantimashukartri, asks for peace that comes quickly. Families who read the Indrakshi Stotram during illness often use this namavali for kumkuma archana on Fridays and in Navaratri.
