Iti Shree Siddhidaatree Ashtottarashatanaamaavalih
Meaning
The Siddhidatri Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a list of 108 names of Siddhidatri Devi, the ninth and last form of Durga, worshipped on Mahanavami, the ninth day of Navaratri. Her name means "the giver of siddhis", the spiritual powers and perfections. The namavali opens with Om Siddhidaatryai Namaha, Om Siddhaayai Namaha and Om Siddhaeeshvaryai Namaha, three names that all turn on the word "siddhi".
Significance
All 108 names start with the sound "S". The first twenty or so keep returning to siddhi and to the siddhas who serve her, which matches her dhyana sloka. Om Sarvasiddhipradaayai Namaha means the giver of all siddhis, and Om Siddheshapriyaayai Namaha means the beloved of the lord of siddhis, a fitting name since Shiva became Siddheshwara through her grace.
One name stands out beside her sloka. Om Samadrishtyai Namaha means the one who sees all equally. In that sloka siddhas, gandharvas, yakshas, asuras and devas all serve her together, so she is above every side. Om Sarvajnaanapradaayinyai Namaha means the giver of all knowledge, which suits the custom of donating books on her day. Om Sanjeevinyai Namaha calls her the one who gives life. As the last namavali of the nine nights, it gathers the whole journey into names of fullness and peace.
How and when to chant
The natural time to chant this namavali is on Mahanavami, the ninth day of Navaratri, though it can be said on any day. Light a lamp before her picture or the Navaratri kalasha and offer a pinch of kumkuma or a flower at each name. Red flowers, especially hibiscus, are offered to her. Payasam is a popular naivedya. Donating books and things needed for study is considered especially good on this day. A steady recitation takes about ten minutes. A namavali needs no initiation, so anyone can chant it with devotion.
To read how Shiva became Ardhanarishvara through her grace, see the story of Siddhidatri Devi.
