89 - Lalita-Sahasranāma - One Thousand Names of Goddess Lalita 

Sanatkumāra said: 

1. Hence, after the meditation of the teacher I shall mention one thousand names of Shaktis along with their attending deities and the religious obligations thereto. 

2. The Nathas1 (the teachers), enumerated as nine beginning with Prakáśha and ending with Subhaga, O Nárada, know the principles as commencing from the earth and ending with Shiva as tattvas. 

1. The number of Nathas is nine. The names begin with Prakashanandanátha and end with Subhaganandanátha. 

The three classes include Divyaugha, Siddhaugha and Manavaugha: The first includes Prakaśhānanda, Vimarshānanda and Anandananda. The second includes Shri Jñånānanda, Shri Satyananda and Shri Pūrnananda. The third includes Svabhavananda, Pratibhananda and Subhagananda. 

The number of categories according to the Shaiva system are thirtysix. They begin with Pruthvi and end with Shiva. 

3. There are seven holy days beginning with the birthday of the teacher and ending with the new moon day. At the outset the sincere aspirant must meditate on this in his mind. 

4. He shall repeat the hymns eulogising the teacher2 with his mind concentrated on him. O Lord, obeisance unto you, who are Shiva in the form of the teacher. 

2. The hymns to the Guru have been cited from Tantraraja, p. 18. 

5. O holy Sir, you have assumed many bodies for the descent and establishment of knowledge. Obeisance unto you, the fresh one with nine forms, yet you have the form of the singleness of the ultimate truth. 

6 Obeisance unto you who act like the sun in dispelling the darkness of ignorance, unto the mass of consciousness. Obeisance unto the free, unto one who has assumed the form out of his mercifulness, unto one of the form of Shiva. 

7. Obeisance unto him who is subservient to the devotees, unto one of blessed form in regard to the blessed ones, obeisancce unto the discriminative knowledge of the discreet, unto the sense of reflection of those who reflect. 

8. Obeisance unto the light of all lights, obeisance unto the knowledge of the knowers. I bow to thee in front, at sides, at the back, above and below. 

9. Keep thy perpetual seat in the abode of my heart. 

After eulogising the teacher devotedly in this manner the devotee shall meditate on the Supreme Goddess. 

10. I bow to the goddess1 who is made of mantra, who constitutes the letters of alphabet and whose forms are planets, who is Ganesha, the constellations, the Yoginis, the signs of the zodiac and the Pithas. 

1. The hymns to Shakti are found in Tantraraja, (pp. 39-49) and Nityashodashikarnava, (PP. 1-25). 

11. I bow to the great goddess, the mother, the Supreme Lady who stills the tossed and agitated pulsations of time. 

12. Even by the maturity of a single letter (by practice) man vies with the Sun, Tarkşhya, the moon, Káma, Shankara, Fire and Vişhnu. 

13. I bow to the mistress of all and Goddess, who is the sacred alphabet of great splendour, (and I bow to her) the moonlight of whose syllables has adorned the three worlds. 

14. I bow to her who is an ever perfect Mother (Mātruka). In the great string of her sacred syllables these three worlds from Brahma’s sphere to Cauldron (Kațaha) are threaded. 

15. Even now the world from Brahma’s sphere to the Cauldron may be observed as arisen from that triangle of the nature of support of the eleventh seed letter. 

16-17. I bow to her, the great Goddess who constitutes the classes (vargas) of letters a, ka, cha, ta, ta, pa, ya, śha, who abides in the head, arms, back, hips and feet, whose form is supreme bliss, who is both absolute, relative and excellent by means of extracting the letter I. 

18. Even now, the gods do not know a little about her corporate and incorporate nature; who she is, from whom she comes, from where and how. 

19. I bow to her whose nature is aham and who is of the form of imperishable Kșha. I bow to the Goddess who shines in the vast wave of Kula’s Kala and yet shines as Supreme Shiva. 

20. I bow to the Supreme Mistress from whom there arise the eight Siddhis and in whom there abide the eight mothers with the sequence of their classes. 

21. I bow to Shri Tripura, who is the Supreme presiding deity of the four currents and who abides in the core of four pithas beginning with the letters Käma, Pūrņa, Jakära and Shripitha. 

22. To one who recites this hymn of eternal deities with full concentration in the beginning of the ritual, the deities confer boons. 

23. Henceforth, I shall recount to you the Kavacha (the hymn of protection) of the goddess abiding in the nine triangles. Thereby, the aspirant shall become the conquerer of Gods, demons and men. 

24-25. May Lalită, the bestower of everything who per meates everything, protect myself. May Kameshi protect me in front, may Bhugamáli protect thereafter the quarters, behind, as also on the right hand side. May Nityaklinna and Bherunda protect the South west direction, 

26. May Vahnivāsini protect the western direction. May Nitya Mahávajreśhvari protect me in the North-west direction. 

27. May Shivadūti protect me in the left hand side. May Tvaritā, the bestower of Siddhis protect me in the North-east direction. 

28. May Kulasundari protect me always from above. May Nilapataká protect me from below and Vijaya from all round. 

29-30. May Sarvamangalā always cause me good. May the form of Jvālāmålini always protect my body, sense-organs, mind and vital breath. May Chiträ always protect my mind from lust, anger, covetousness, delusion, false prestige and arrogance. 

31-34. May the sixteen Nitya deities save me from all sins, may they save me from grief, decay all the time. May they protect me from untruth, from cruel thoughts, violence, stealth and placidity. May they urge me to perform good deeds. May Nityā deities riding on elephants along with their Shaktis protect me. May the deities riding on horses protect me. May those riding on the lions protect me. May those seated on bears protect me. May those riding on chariots protect me in the battle, all round. May those who ride on Garuda protect me. May those who traverse the sky, abide in the elements, who are all permeating protect me. May the goddess always protect me. 

35. May goblins, ghosts and spirits be routed, may the ailment that arises by the application of destructive spirits urged by my enemies be destroyed by the ornaments and weapons of their Shaktis. 

36. May the innumerable Shaktis and goddesses riding on elephants, horses, tigers, lions, and Garudas wielding weapons protect me from everywhere. 

37. One who repeats this Kavacha mantra of the Nityas which protects all, both in the morning and evening never sees any inauspiciousness. He always remains delighted and blissful. 

38. Thus the auspicious Kavacha of Lalità has been mentioned. By wearing it man becomes fearless, victorious and happy. 

39. Henceforth, I shall mention, O sage, one thousand names of the sixteen deities according to their respective order along with the worship of their attending deities.
