1. Om kakaara Roopaayai Namaha

Salutations to the Mother, who is in the form of the letter Ka. ka is synonymous with Brahman who created the Universe. Devi is the manifestation of Kadi Vidya. It is the first letter in the Panchadasi Mantra. It comes first among syllables and nourishes the other syllables. Ka means Brahma, Water, Head, and Happiness. Brahma who controls the Universe. Water, life giving source to other living forms. Head is the place where Amrutham (nectar) is stored in all living beings. In Yogins when the Kundalini rises from Mooladhara to Sahasrara, Kulamrutham is emitted which fiows through the 72,000 channels in our body. This is where Shakthi from Mooladhara meets Lord Siva in Sahasrara and the Yogi attains Liberation. According to the Vedas, Kam, Ram and Ham means she is the Happiness in the Chidakasa manifesting as Happiness in the Dhaharakasa.This is how Ka gives Liberation through Sri Vidya Mantra. One who preaches Ka syllable becomes Siva himself. Ka is the Auspicious one , giver of pleasure. Doing the Archana whole heartedly, with kumkum, Akshathas, and Flowers and Bilva leaves gently with devotion to the Idol, Vilakku (lamp), SriChakra, and Meru, bestows the grace of Devi on her Devotees. Namaha means "nothing is mine, every thing is yours'.

Ka deals with the infinite. It is used when one is unable to describe adequately the Anantha kalyana gunas (vast giories of the Goddess) of the infinite. KA represents Light, pranams to Devi who is that Light.

2. Om kalyaanyai Namaha

Salutations to the Mother, who is Blissful Auspiciousness (sukha swaroopini). In this Universe, from the blade of Grass, smallest insect, to the higher forms, all seek Sukham or Pleasure, be it a Sadhu, king or Brahman. The pleasure we seek is like droplets in an Ocean compared to the Mother, who is the Ocean of Bliss. Pranams to the Devi who is the Manifestation of Pleasure and Auspiciousness.

3. Om kalyaana Gunasaalinyai Namah:Salutations to the Mother, who has the attributes of True Motivation (sathya sankalpa) and True Desire (sathya aasai). The Vedas proclaim that she is -kevalam- Absolute and is a Witness. The Sahasranama says that she is Nirguna -meaning attributeless, without any form. However, it is not wrong to imagine her in Saguna form. The Devi bestows her grace on Devotees who worship her with these above mentioned qualities. Devotees should identify these qualities with her as SHE is indeed the manifestation of these qualities.

4. Om kalyaana Saila Nilayaayai Namaha:Salutations to the Mother, who dwells on the Mountain of Auspiciousness. Kalyaanam, means Happiness, Pleasure. Devi is the embodiment of pleasure without any traces of pain, She dwells in us in the Anandamaya kosha. Normally the summit of a Mountain is of hard rock without any soil or trees. She is like a hard rock of Bliss at the summit of the Mountain Meru, which is Mangalakaram (auspiciousness).

5. Om kamaneeyaayai Namaha: Salutations to the Mother, who is the Epitome of Love. She is the abode of Happiness and Pleasure. In this universe, every being seeks for pleasure and is satisfied when his/her desires are fulfilled. This desire for pleasure steals the Manas (mind), which is never satisfied. The Devi, who is the embodiment of supreme Love and the pinnacle of Pleasure is enchantingly Beautiful and Divine Atma Swaroopam and hence is called kamaneeya. She manifests herself through the Ishta Devatha, (the favorite God for the Devotee) the Devotee worships, bestowing her grace to them through their worship.

6. Om kalaavathyai Namaha :Salutations to the Mother, who is the manifestation of sixty four fine Arts (kalas). She is fond of Poetry, Dancing, Music, and chanting of the Vedas. She is in fact, the Home of all Arts. In Lalitha Sahasranama She is described as 'Chathushshashti kalaamayi,' which means master of sixty four kalas. She is the sixty four kalas in the moon. The Moon, which is known as Chandrakala, is worn by Devi as a Crown on her fore head. Kalas also mean parts of our body like Head, Arms and Legs. She gives Darshan to her Devotees in her Saguna form with all the Limbs when they meditate on her.

7.Om kamalaakshyai Namaha :Salutations to the Mother, who has the eyes of blooming Lotus petals. Kamala, means the name given to Goddess Lakshmi residing in the Lotus flower. Lakshyam means attainment of a goal. Akshi, means being an instrument in understanding knowledge. We see with our eyes, hear with our ears, smell with our nose, taste with our tongue and feel with our skin. These five Jnanendriyas are called Akshi. It is Devi who creates and controls these Jnanendriyas. With her sacred glance she bestows wealth on this Earth, merits for Heavens, and Jnanam for Moksham to her Devotees.

8. OM KALMASHAGNYAI NAMAHA : Salutations to the Mother, who destroys the sins of her devotees. When meditating on* Srividya, chittha (subconscious mind) is purified, jnanam* is obtained and the sins are burnt. Fire of jnana burns the sins of karma. "I release*you from all sin"*says Lord Krishna in Bhagavath gita. Devi burns the sins of her devotees into ashes and liberates them. She is the thunder bolt that cleaves asunder the mountains of human ills.

9. OM KARUNAAMRUTHA SAAGARAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the nectar of the ocean of compassion. Just as the Ocean stays in its place, is a life giver to the people in the form of Rain. Devi is*an ocean of compassion pouring her rain of grace on the devotees who seek her*blessings. The compassionate*Devi protects the devotees who surrender themselves*to her. Devi came in the form of Ganges involving the kings*of Saagara*dynasty who made their mark*in the annals of History. The word Saagara is named after them. Her grace is easily won, for*her mercy demands no merit on our part. She is the rain of nectar that falls on the parched soil of our*earthly existence.

10. OM KADAMBA KAANANAA VAASAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who loves* to* dwell in the kadamba forests ("Kadamba vana vasini" as said in Lalitha sahasra nama). She lives in Chintamani cave in the middle of Kadamba forests. Sri Nagara has 25 forts. In between the 7th silver fort and the 8th golden fort* there is a*forest called kadamba vanam. Adi devatha, who governs this*place, is the minister, Mantrini, Syamala devi, who is again one of the forms of*Devi.* Devi truly lives in the cave of our hearts.

11. OM KADAMBA KUSUMA PRIYAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the lover of kadamba flowers. Devalokas kadamba flowers have more fragrance and are more beautiful than earths flowers but the flowers in Srinagara have much more fragrance and beauty un-parelled to any in this universe. Devi loves these flowers. She loves the flowers*of the spirit even more.

12. OM KANDARPA VIDYAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is worshipped*by Manmatha, who is a Srividya upasaka. He is one of the*sixteen upasakas. As in Lalitha Sahasranama Manu vidya it is also known as kadi vidya worshipped by Manmatha.

13. OM KANDARPA JANAKAPAANGA VEEKSHANAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who recreated Manmatha with her mere glance. As in Lalitha Sahasranama* Harinethraagnisandagdha kaama sanjeeva naushadihi. Manmatha who was burnt to ashes by Lord Sivas third eye was given rebirth by*Devis mere glance. Lord Vishnu, father of Manmatha was made the protector of this universe by just a look*from her eyes. She ordained Goddess Lakshmi, mother of Manmatha to grant wealth to*devotees who worshipped*her.* By her mere glance, she created sensual materialistic objects like*sandalwood, flowers, moon, vermillion, etc., for mankind to enjoy.

14. OM KARPOORAVEETI SOURABHYA KALLOLITHA KAKUTHP TATAAYAI NAMAHA Salutations to the Mother, whose breath has the fragrance, which sends waves of aroma to the ten directions*of the Universe.* The*thamboolam she*chews in her mouth is called karpoora veeti*because it has the tender Betel leaf folded triangularly, with ingredients comprising of paccha Karpooram (edible camphor), elaka (cardamom), kumkumpoo (saffron) krambu (cloves) scented betel nut. All these give the aroma. As in Lalitha sahasranama*Karpooraveetikaamodha samaakarsha diganthara.

15. OM KALIDOSHA HARAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who destroys the sins done in kali yuga. In kali-yuga we are born with sins. If we worship Devi with idols and pictures, hear her sacred stories, sing her bhajans, recite her stotras, do poojas and meditate, all*our sins are annihilated. As in Lalitha sahasranama kali kalmasha naasini. Kali also means*arguments between the religious heads, which results in scorning at each other, hatred*and anger. This* results in sin, papa again. These sins are mitigated by Devi by her Advaitha Brahma jnana.(seeing non duality in things, seeing Divine in every thing) Kali also means (Saturn god) Sani bhagavan. The dhoshas of Sani are also destroyed*by the worship of Devi.

16. OM KANJALOCHANAAYAI NAMAHA : Salutations to the* Mother, who has*the eyes of a beautiful* blooming lotus bud. This Brahmaandam was created just by her mere look when she thought, "I should become many". This is Veda vakyam. She is manifested and*unmanifested*too.

17. OM KAMRA VIGRAHAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who* is resplendent, majestic, exceedingly beautiful who steals the mind of the viewer. She is the ultimate perfection of beauty. Her form is incomparably graceful.

18. OM KARMAADI SHAAKSHIYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is a witness to our karmas. Pooja, Upasana, Yogam, Yaagam, Sravanam (hearing of scriptures), Mananam (reflection) and Nidhidhyasana (meditation), are the karmas we do. She is the (Atma) incarnate in each Jiva directing each one of them according to their merits and demerits and Devi is the witness*to all*these untouched, without her being involved in it.

19. OM KAARAYITHRIYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who instigates us to do the karma, actions. The omnipresent Devi*is ever the cause of bondage of all when she casts her net of delusion.* She is ever again the cause of liberation when she imparts the knowledge to them. She being just a witness attracts us to her vicinity and makes her maya*perform our actions. As the needle is drawn towards a magnet we are drawn towards her and she is the one who enables us to reap the reward of our praarabdha Karmas (accumulated karma in our previous birth).

20. OM KARMAPHALA PRADAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who rewards us with fruits of* our actions. She gives merits and demerits according* to our good and bad actions. She* impels us to do the karma,* makes us to perform the action and lastly gives rewards* for our actions.

21. OM AYKAARA ROOPAAYAI NAMAHA (Here, Ay is pronounced as in May)Salutations to the Mother, who is the complete perfect measure of the letters of alphabets. She is the manifestation of the alphabet Ay. It is the second alphabet in the Vagbhava Koota of the Panchadasi mantra. It is also called maya beejam or yoni beejam. Devi is in the form of Ay.

22. OM AYKAAKSHARYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who stands alone as the alphabet Om, which is a Pranava mantra.This letter [Aksharam] is the only one which is absolute, very importantand is never destroyed.

23. OM AYKAANEKAAKSHA RAAKRUTHAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the only one as well as many in alphabets. She is the only one alphabet in Beejaaksharaas, garland of alphabets in all mantras, and she is present in the form of alphabets, in the Vedas, Ithihaasaas and Upanishads.

24. OM AYTHATHTHADITHYA NIRDESYAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who cannot be described as this or that. She cannot be comprehended as she is beyond our state of imagination. Even Yogins and Rishis are unable to comprehend her form. Devi cannot be perceived by senses.

25. OM AYKAANANDA CHIDAAKRUTHYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the manifestation of supreme intelligence and pleasure. She is the pleasure which devotees love to experience and jnana swaroopam (knowledge of Bliss) which yogins enjoy in their samadhi state.

26. OM AYVAMITH YAGAMAABHODYAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who cannot be described by the Agamas and Scriptures. Vedas proclaim she is neti neti (she is neither this nor that) because the supreme reality is of the nature of pure intelligence, self luminous, unaffected by the limitation of time and space. Devi is swayam prakasha (self illumined). Devi is unmanifested who is beyond Time, Space, and Causation, who is attributeless, eternal, indefinable beyond the reach of speech and mind.

27. OM AYKABHAKTHI MADARCHITHAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is worshipped with single minded Devotion. Poojas, archanas, bahiryagam, antaryaagam, reciting stotras and meditation, help in worshipping Devi, intensely without a wavering mind.

28. OM AYKAAGRACHITTHA NIRDESYAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who cannot be worshipped with single minded devotion alone, meditation, the meditator and the object of meditation should be the same, there is no separation between the Devi and the devotee. Vedas proclaim 'Thou art that Brahman' to achieve this we need to be separated from her to meditate* on her.

29. OM AYSHANAA RAHITHADRUTHAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who grants more boons than we ask for. We keep praying to her for all the mundane Materialistic things, like getting a good wife, a good son, wealth, positions, etc. Devi stays with people without any wants and desires and loves working for spiritual developement and material welfare of people.

30. OM AYLAASUGHANDI CHIKURAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, whose hair has the fragrance so wonderful that flowers like Champaka, Ashoka, and Punnaga, abide in Devi s locks only to enhance their own famous fragrance by the still superior fragrance natural to her locks. As, in Lalitha sahasranamam, champakashoka punnaga sougandhika lasathkachaa.

31. OM AYNAHKOOTA VINAASINYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the destroyer of all our karmas. They are Agami, Sanchitha and Prarabdha karmas.* Karma which is going to happen in future is Agami karma, Sanchitha* karma is the karma happening presently, and Prarabdha*karma is the accumulated karma during our previous lives. These karmas cannot be destroyed without*going through them, but with Devi's Grace,*wisdom is realised*and all these karmas*are annihilated in a second. Sin*which comes from vengeance, and maya which creates all these, are removed from their grass root levels.

32. OM AYKHA BHOGAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the* Mother, who is in blissfull union with Lord Kameshwara.* The acts of creation, protection, and dissolution, are done by her in union with her shakthi called Maya.

33. OM AYKA RASAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the magnificient rasa called the Sringara Rasa which* is one of the nine rasas. As, in Lalitha Sahasra Namam, 'Sringara Rasa Sampurna'.* She is the sweet* taste in the six tastes of the mouth, which are pungent, bitter, sour, astringent, sweet and hot.

34. OM AYKAISWARYA PRADAAYINYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who is the giver of enormous* wealth (Aishwarya). She also grants Anima Siddhi, etc., and Ishwara Thanmai*(realisation of the self) to her devotees which are also called Aishwaryas.

35. OM AYKAATHAPATHRA SAAMRAAJYA PRADAAYAI NAMAHASalutations to the Mother, who gives* kingdom equal to a basket (universal kingdom under one roof) if* a devotee prays for it. This does not give moksha. Aykaathapathra, means when jeevaathma* gets unified with Paramathma.* When we realize the self, there is divine*bliss and this comes from Akhanda Brahma jnanam (knowledge that self and Brahman are one and the same). Devi*gives the asset of salvation.

36. Om Aykaantha Poojithaayai NamahaSalutations to the Mother, who is worshipped in absolute solitude, in a cave, by the side of a river, or peak of a mountain, Aham Brahmasmi. Devi loves being worshipped in the cave of our hearts.

37. Om Aydamaana Prabhaayai NamahaSalutations to the Mother, who herself is radiance and whose radiance increases day by day. From her all rays proceed. All radiance comes from her, the glow of any created object comes from her.* Devi is self luminous, illumining* the intellect, the mind, the sun, the moon, stars, fire and lightning.* When she shines every thing shines after her,*all these shine by her light. Devi has the foremost*lustre,*whose brightness increases day by day.* Sun, moon, stars, and lightning get their illumination from her,*their light cannot be compared to the effulgence of Devi. "Om Na Thatra Suryo Bhaathi Na Chandra Thaarakam. Nema vidyutho Bhaathi kuthoyamaghnihi Thamevaa Bhaantha Manu Bhaanthi Sarvam Thasya Bhaasaa Sarvamidam Vibhaathi" - Say the Vedas.

38. Om Ayjadaneja Jjagadheeswaryai* NamahaSalutations to the Mother, who is the protector of both movable and immovable objects in this universe. All living things are movable. Trees, rocks and earth are immovable. Devi is the creator, protector, and destroyer, who showers her grace on every one.

39. Om Aykaveeraadi Samsevyaayai* NamahaSalutations to the Mother,*who is worshipped by*the Ekaveeras. They* are extraordinary people*and have attained*mantra Siddhi and darshan of Devi through pooja and meditation. They are majestic*people with strength of character without any traces of lust or anger. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Brahma are the Ekaveeras.

40. Om Ayka Praabhavasaalinyai NamahaSalutations to the Mother, who is the ultimate reality,*equal to none and is the existence supreme, self existent, protects those who surrender to her. So great is her transcendent glory it is only a reflection of that glory that is seen in the cosmic powers of Thrimurthis, Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Siva.* Devi* has* unmatchable riches and unmatchable* powers.

41. Om Ekaara Roopaayai NamahaSalutations to the Mother,who is the manifestation of the letter E, which makes us all move. It is the third letter in the Vaghbhava koota of the Panchadasi mantra.

45. Om Eswarathva Vidaayinyai NamahaSalutations to the Mother, who gives divinity to her devotees. She gives us the feeling of divinity in us, makes us feel like herself. She gives power to the Trimurthis. Lord Siva is the substratum, Lord Brahma creates, Lord Vishnu sustains, Lord Rudra destroys, Lord Maheshwara absorbs and assimilates and Lord Sadasiva, who restores everything in to activity, with just a look from her eyes. Devi also gives wealth, vidya, and dharma, according to the devotees karma phalas (fruits).46. Om Esanaadi Brahmamayyai Namaha : Salutations to the Mother, who is Pancha Brahma swaroopini. One who worships Brahma becomes Brahma himself. She is manifested in them too. She is also manifested as Ishaana,Tathpurusha, Agora, Vamadeva, and Sadyojaathaa and is named Panchamukheeswari.
