Meaning
The Sri Matangi Ashtottara Shatanamavali gives 108 names of Matangi, one of the ten Mahavidyas, each set as Om Sri ... Namah for archana. Matangi is worshipped as the goddess of speech, music and learning, and is often described as the tantric form of Saraswati. The text does not say which scripture it is drawn from.
The opening names
The list begins with Mahamatta Matangini and moves straight to Siddhirupa, Yogini, Bhadrakali, Rama and Bhavani, so within six names Matangi is joined to Kali, Lakshmi and Parvati. Dhanagaradrishti and Dhanesharchita, the one worshipped by Kubera, speak of her as a giver of wealth.
Runs of names
The names are grouped by sound. After short runs on bha and dha there is a long ksha sequence that includes Kshama, Kshapa and Ksharini. Then come Shakambhari, Shakadeha and Mahashakayajna, which recall the goddess who fed the world with greens and vegetables during a famine. A ja series follows, with Jayanti, Jayanga and Jayajvalini.
The closing names
Near the end, Nishumbhakshida, Shumbhadarpatvaha and Chandamundapada credit Matangi with the victories of the Devi Mahatmyam. Chalacchamara and Chitrabhushojjvalangi picture her fanned by whisks and bright with ornaments. The last name, Susangitagita, returns to music. Devotees use the list during Shyamala Navaratri in Magha and when beginning music or study.
