Three hundred names of Goddess Lalita

Introduction

This introduction deals with the background oflalitAtrishatIstotram.

Among the 18 purANas, brahmANDa-purANa is well known for the

extolling of Lalita . It explains in detail the appearance of

the Goddess Lalita to save the world from the clutches of the

demon bhaNDAsura . There are three important sub-texts in this

purANa.

The first of these texts is LalitopAkhyAna, consisting of 45

chapters and is found in the last section of the purANa . Thelast five chapters are especially well known . They extol the

the Divine mother, explain the significance of the mantra

of the goddess (shoDashAkSharI-vidyA), the various mudras and

postures to be practiced, meditations, initiations etc., and

the mystical placement of the deities involved in Shri Chakra.

The next text is the celebrated LalitA sahasranAma, which

consists of 320 verses in three chapters.

The third text is the lalitA trishati in which 300 names of the

goddess is featured . There is a well known commentary on this

work attributed to Adi ShankarAchArya.

Lalita trishati and lalitA sahasranAma are dialogues between

the sage Agastya and the god HayagrivaPronounced as hayagrIva.

Hayagriva is the

incarnation of ViShNu who assumed the form of a horse

to kill a demon by the same name . Agastya was asage of great renown, who is immortalized as a star in the

celestial heavens(one of the seven Rishi-s, saptarShi or Ursa Major).

He is the patron saint of Tamilnadu being a

founder of a system of medicine called Siddha, and also having

drunk the whole ocean in his kamaNDalum . According to yAska’s

Nirukta, Agastya is the half-brother of the great sage,

VasishTha.

The story of the meeting of Agastya and Hayagriva is

given in the lalitopAkhyAna and is quite interesting . Agastya

was visiting several places of pilgrimage and was sad to see

many people steeped in ignorance and involved in only sensual

pleasures . He came to kA nchi and worshiped kAmAkShI and sought

a solution for the masses . Pleased with the devotion and his

caring for the society, Lord ViShNu appeared before Agastya

and provided the sage Agastya with the solution of ‘curing’ the

worldly folk from ignorance . He explained that He is the

primordial principle, and the source and the end of everything.

Though He is above forms and guNas, He involves himself in

them . He goes on to explain that a person should recognize that

He is the pradhhAna (primordial) transformed into the universe,and that He is also the puruSha (conscious spirit) who is

transcendental and beyond all qualities(guNa-s) and forms . However to

recognize this, one has to perform severe penance,

self-discipline etc . If (since) this is difficult, Lord ViShNu

advises that the worship of the goddess will achieve the

purpose of life, given as liberation from bondage,

very easily . He points out that even

other Gods like Shiva and Brahma have worshiped the goddessTripurA . ViShNu concludes his discourse saying that this was

revealed to Agastya so that he (Agastya) can spread the message

to gods, sages, and humans . ViShNu requests Agastya to approach

his incarnation, Hayagriva and disappears from Agastya’s

sight.

Agastya approaches Hayagriva with devotion and reverence.

Hayagriva reveals to Agastya that the great Goddess, lalitA,

is without beginning or end and is the foundation of the entire

universe . The great goddess abides in everyone and can be

॥ ललता ऽशत ॥ 3

realized only in meditation . The worship of

goddess is done with the lalitA sahasranamA (1000 names) and Hayagriva

teaches him this great sahasranAmA.

After this Agastya thanks Hayagriva and tells him that though he has heard

about Sri Chakra upAsana and the sahasranAma he lacks the satisfaction of

knowing all the secrets and catches hold of Hayagriva’s feet . Hayagriva is

taken aback and keeps quiet . At this time Goddess Lalita appears to

Hayagriva

and tells him that both Agastya and his wife Lopamudra are very dear to

her,

and that Agastya is worthy of receiving the secret Lalita trishati and then

disappears . Hayagriva lifts up Agastya and tells him that he is indeed a great

man since Lalita herself had commanded him to impart the trishathi to

Agastya.

He also tells him that he is fortunate to have Agastya as a disciple since he

had the vision of Lalita due to Agastya . He then gives him the following

trishathi.
