तीव्राख्या ज्वालिनी नंदा भोगदा कामरूपाणी । अग्रा तेजोवती सत्या नवमी विध्ननाशिनी ॥ २२ ॥
tīvrākhyā jvālinī naṃdā bhogadā kāmarūpāṇī | agrā tejovatī satyā navamī vidhnanāśinī || 22 ||
Siya ay tinatawag na Tīvrā; siya ang Nagliliyab na Apoy (Jvālinī); siya si Nandā, tagapagkaloob ng kagalakan; siya ang Bhogadā na nagbibigay ng ligaya at siya ang Kāmarūpāṇī na nag-aanyong ayon sa kalooban. Siya ang Agrā, ang pinakapanguna; siya ang Tejovatī na nagniningning sa banal na liwanag; siya ang Satyā, ang Katotohanan; siya ang Navamī, ang Ikasiyam; at siya ang Vidhnanāśinī, tagapagwasak ng mga balakid.
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.
