Introduction!
!
!
First of all I offer my heart as flowers at the feet of Lord Siva residing at Perunninakulam, who
sowed the seeds of this stotram in my mind and appeared in my dream on the night of the third day
when I completed this!!
This kvya which is called ivottaraatanmvali is considered to have been created by Lordess
tripurasundari at the behest of her Lord Siva. The kvya is in the form of Lalitsahasranma. A
great speciality of the Lalitsahasranma stotram is the poetry in it. It cannot be otherwise when
the creator are Vgdevat. Vgdevat do this with alankra, rpaka, upam, etc. Starting with her
form of Creation, Sustenance and Destruction briefly, it goes on to describe each weapon and what
it symbolically represents or actually is. Then it goes into a poetic description from head to toe. The
sahasranma of Devi then elaborates the different tntrik tatvas of devi in detail with different
names.!
Another special feature of Lalitsahasranma is that it does not have even one filler word like u
i ' etc. which are usually used to adjut the chandas or the metre. In Lalitsahasranma each
letter is part of a name of hers. The famous viusahasranma has many instances of this. eg.
* , , u / 1 i: | 4: u 6 : 9 9e < =/9 |
The one
ivottaraatanmvali which is currently popular also has such instances. eg. @: * E
H@ iIuJ: The feature of this current stotra which was created by Tripurasundar does not
have even one filler word. Each letter is part of a name of his. It has to be so, since vgdevats
who created the Lalitsahasranma is part of sundari herself.!
This kvya starts with a chat between Siva and Parvati (in the form of sundari here) as in many
stotras of Devi and Deva. She expresses a concern about the absence of names or list of names
praising him, comparable to her own sahasranma created by the vgdevat. So she requests him
to create his own names in the form of hers. With a smile he replies that he is happy with her
names themselves, but assures that he will not object if she so desires. Siva then goes on to ask
her to create his names. She happily agrees to the order and starts creation of his names and ends
it claiming that this will be known as the ivottaranmvali. Siva concludes the chat giving the
phalaruti of chanting these names daily.!
This is the first print of this book. Most of the names are not direct references as in many currently
available stotras of Siva. Therefore a commentary is needed and I have ventured into that effort
most humbly. Learned readers are requested to pardon the mistakes if any in the commentary and
bring them to my notice so that I can correct them in the next print.!
The help and support by my beloved Sanskrit Guru Sri. Dr. Gangadharan Nair are the reason why I
could compile this in this fashion so fast. When I sent this for his correction, he was at Doha with
his son and busy from 4.30 am till 11.30 pm, writing articles to be published in the U S, writing book
review for Journal of Sukrtindra Oriental Research Institute, Kochi and editing research papers for
publication at Sanskrit University, Kalady. It was in the middle of it that he did this small job for a
Sanskrit illiterate like me. He never asked me to go and learn some Sanskrit fundamentals; instead
cleared even silly grammatical mistakes like vibhakti, sandhi and samasa!! I bow my head at his
feet for this iya vtsalya which eminent gurus are famous for.!
!
I submit this at the feet of my Guru r. Ngnandantha along with his consort Dpmb!

FOREWORD!
It is with the grace of God that we get the company of great men who, in spite of their busy schedule of
professional life in a high speed material world, pursue a path leading to spiritual satisfaction. In the Indian
spiritual tradition which is exemplified in the Hindu way of life, you are free to choose any one of the several
paths which appear before you, the only restriction being that ones actions should not violate Dharma.
Dharma is that which maintains the balance in Nature leading to the well being of all creatures, not merely of
human beings. No matter to which religion or which sect of a religion you belong, you are blessed if you
realize the laws of nature and observe them with sincerity. I feel myself blessed to have the company of
several personalities of enlightened souls who practice different spiritual means to enjoy themselves with
their intellectual engagements. Here I am pointing out a remarkable man who came into my contact recently
and elevated me to the position of his Sanskrit Guru. Calling himself my disciple, here is Shri. Nandakumar
Menon. He is a Sadhaka (practitioner) in Tantric tradition and, as such, an Upasaka (worshipper) of Mother
Goddess. In my tradition of "%) (lineage of preceptors and disciples) of Sanskrit Grammar, I
prefer to call him , (friend). I know that to be a teacher I need not to teach a person in an institution and
for a specified period. My friend who has another name in his Tantric tradition, Taranandanatha, used to ask
me some questions to clear his doubts and I am happy to note that he was quick to grasp the ideas in my
replies. He is keen and steadfast in the pursuit of knowledge. He surprised me when he asked me to correct
the Stotram he wrote in Sanskrit.
Nandakumar fancies that the Mother Goddess herself creates the Stotra ( hymn ) in praise of her consort
Lord Mahesvara, enumerating his one hundred and eight names. In the tradition of religious poetry in India,
there is a class of hymns compiling a specific number of names of a God or Goddess. Some hymns have one
hundred and eight names and some have one thousand names. Each name has its specific meaning. It is a
difficult task to select suitable names and to fit them in the metre. Though in his humility Nandakumar
mentions that his knowledge of Sanskrit is meagre, he has sufficient erudition and genius to fluently arrange
words in poetic style and decorum. I experience a thrill as if I am perceiving the goddess of words (/)
dancing on his tongue. His ease in versification reminds me of a few other friends of mine who have a
similar talent and who are engaged in similar poetic efforts to author beautiful hymns in praise of different
forms of the almighty. One of them is a busy doctor of modern medicine in Alppuzha who publishes a book
of religious poetry every year on Vijayadashami day. Another is a professor from Muvattupuzha who wrote
2346, 96, etc. One friend, a teacher, composed beautiful lyrics in Sanskrit on Lord
:<=. Yet another friend from Mutholapuram sings and dances with his own Sanskrit songs and poems in
Sanskrit and Malayalam metres and now engages himself in the Sanskrit translation of famous Jnanappana. I
am glad to add to this club of enthusiastic friends of poetic mind my dear friend Nandakumar. This man of
modern technology excels in Bhakti and Sanskrit poetry. I have ample reason to rejoice. Who would now
dare to say Sanskrit has no relevance at present and poetry is dying? Pointing out Nandakumar, I can chant
the words of the Rigvedic sage: >/ ? AB <9 (See the poem of the Shining One. It is not
dying. It is not ageing.)
I am sure that the hymn will be welcomed by scholars and devotees. I wish the author all the best and invoke
the blessings of Goddess Mother on him and me and on everyone.

yzu^: |#: !
1. iva: iva is the one formed by joining to ava, the corpse. arddhanrvara. Note the verse

there he is ava.!
2. ambhu: One who exists as pleasure, bliss.!
3. svayambh: One who was born on ones own. One who does not have a cause. One who is
effect-only!
4. am: One who is of the form of eternal bliss!

(Y<). Therefore a is kanha. kanha is explained in viva as U e Y] ^
`. So it means one which makes sound. By the dictum L b1 from amaraka, is

that which is depended by all for shelter. The cause of sound is the thing which sounds and the
action of sounding. Since result is intrinsic to cause, sound and the thing which sounds are the
same. Therefore here that sound which all depend for shelter, abdabrahmam.!
amkara: One who does am. One who does, gives, distributes welfare and happiness.!
hara: one who takes away. He takes away everything at the time of total destruction the
mahpralaya.!
udyadbhnusahasrbha: One with the brilliance of a thousand (innumerable) suns.!

10. srtydigualhya: One who is richly endowed with the trident which is of the form of the
trigua and the three actions. trigua are, satva, rajas and tamas. He is qualified by all the
three qualities. They are causal in the three actions, sthity (sustenance), srti (creation) and
samhra (destruction) respectively. These three actions are also his. Therefore brahm, viu
and rudra: are intrinsic to him.!
11. dutanigrahavajadhrk: He holds the vaja (innumerable lightnings) which destroys evil.!
12. uddhavidykhagadhr: One who holds the sword of the form of uddhavidy, the pure
knowledge. It is contrast of avidy the illusion which creates the feeling that this world is real.
The sword of uddhavidy or pure knowledge destroys that illusion and gives the ultimate bliss.!
13. ripuvraparavadha: The axe which removes, destroys the enemies. In this samsa, it can
mean one who holds this weapon or the weapon itself. Here devi has not used any explicit
linguistic tools like hya, bhita, ujvala etc. to say, holds the axe. It is interesting that she
does not differentiate between the axe and its holder Lord Siva. sarvam khalvidam brahma all
this is but brahman only. Next name is also similar.!

14. pralaygnibhayadhvas: pralaygni, the ultimate fire which unifies everything. Everyone fears
that fire. Have bhaya. HE is of the form of the abhaya mudra which gives safety from it.!

form of her own name rgasvarpaphy!

primordial. Lord Siva is said to have the body (tanu) of the form of nda (ndatanu).

18. mahklgnisamobha: One who is resplendent with the glow of the great destructive fire, the
mahklgni. With the mahklgni, the whole universe is destroyed. klgni is a samsa of
kla and agni, which means agni (fire) which is the kla (time). klgni is not fire alone. Time
changes everything. As time passes things are born, live and die or disappear. mah is joined
here as an adjective to show the point in time when everything gets destroyed and disappears
in one go. !
19. kodhkrnkuojjvala: Devi who wanted at least one name for her Lord equivalent to any one
among her nmashasra, again seems to rejoice in creating as many names for him as
possible. This name again is the pullinga form of her on ninth name in sahasanma. He is
extremely radiant with the hook. !
20. uddhasphaikasaka: Equivalent to pure glass. Siva the unqualified, nirgua is bereft of
colour and form. The form that is attributed here with the organs and ornaments are explained
as something else, e.g. the rope pa is rga which ties the individual souls to the created
universe. He has no colour as a quality and therefore sphaikasaka, equivalent to glass.
uddha, that sphaika is again qualified as pure without any colour of its own too.!
21. bahvbharaaobhita: One who shines with many ornaments. bahu also means innumerable,
which cannot be measured or counted. Mostly like sarvbharaabhit, her own name.!

jamegha, his ja which is megha. kta, created. bhrcpa, the bow which is the eyebrow.
obhita shining. devi equates his face to sun, which is apt because of the raging brightness of it
with the addition of just now described third eye of pralaygni. It radiates the rays which falls on
the twisted hair the ja. Equating ja to megha is again apt due to the darkness of it. It is also
like the twisted and mangled rain clouds. When the rays of sun falls on clouds the rain bow is
born. Likewise, when the rays of his face falls on the twisted hair it creates his eyebrows
equivalent to rainbow in its beauty.!

Lord Siva said:!

[_ K PK - : S !
The garland written by you is very beautiful (uY). Oh beautiful one (uYi), my consort, your
sadness is gone. She (this garland of names) is very secret. Never to be given to the nondeserving. Only to be given to right (deserving) disciples. By chanting (this) desires are achieved.
Good people remains happy, by gaining worldly needs and salvation, by way of chanting this in the
morning and evening, after bath and after smearing with ashes,!
