तृतीये शांभवीनाम चतुर्थे विश्वरूपिणी । पञ्चमे नंदिनीनाम षष्ठे चैव गणांबिका
tṛtīye śāṃbhavīnāma caturthe viśvarūpiṇī | pañcame naṃdinīnāma ṣaṣṭhe caiva gaṇāṃbikā
No terceiro kalpa foste chamada Śāmbhavī; no quarto, Viśvarūpiṇī (aquela cuja forma é o universo inteiro). No quinto, recebeste o nome de Nandinī; e no sexto, Gaṇāmbikā (Mãe dos Gaṇas).
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī
Scene: Four-icon sequence of Devī: Śāmbhavī beside Śiva; Viśvarūpiṇī as a cosmic-bodied goddess containing galaxies; Nandinī as auspicious, gentle bestower; Gaṇāmbikā surrounded by gaṇas, protecting and guiding them.
The one Goddess is praised by many names, each highlighting a distinct cosmic role—Śiva’s power, universal form, auspiciousness, and guardianship of sacred hosts.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, where such name-glorification forms part of the māhātmya teaching tradition.
No explicit ritual; it supports devotional recitation and contemplation of Devī’s epithets.
