அவள் தீவ்ரா என அழைக்கப்படுகிறாள்; அவள் ஜ்வாலினீ—எரியும் ஜ்வாலை; அவள் நந்தா—ஆனந்தம் அளிப்பவள். அவள் போகதா, விருப்பமெனும் வடிவம் தரும் காமரூபிணீ. அவள் அக்ரா, தேஜோவதி, சத்தியஸ்வரூபிணி, நவமி, விக்நநாசினி.
Narada (within a didactic recitation context addressed to the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents a sequence of powerful epithets describing the Goddess as intense, radiant truth and as the remover of obstacles—implying that remembrance/recitation aligns the practitioner with tejas, auspiciousness, and unobstructed spiritual progress.
Bhakti here is expressed through nāma-smaraṇa (devotional recollection of divine names): praising her as Nandā, Satyā, and Vidhnanāśinī cultivates trust, surrender, and steadiness in practice.
The verse reflects mantra/stotra application—using precise divine epithets for sankalpa and ritual intent (e.g., prosperity as bhogadā, obstacle-removal as vidhnanāśinī), a practical feature of technical religious practice emphasized in Book 1.3.
