Description : Discover the divine power of ललिता त्रिशती स्तोत्र रत्नम् (Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratna Namavali)—meaning, benefits, process, and secrets of Devi Lalitha’s grace.
ललिता त्रिशती स्तोत्र रत्नम् is one of the most revered hymns in Śrī Vidya Upāsana, dedicated to Goddess Lalitha Tripura Sundari, the embodiment of Satchidananda — Existence, Consciousness and Bliss. It contains 300 divine names (Trishati = Three Hundred), each vibrating with the sound energy of Shakti Beejas like “Aiṁ, Hrīṁ, Śrīṁ.”
This stotra, also known as Lalita Trishati Namavali, was revealed by Lord Hayagriva, the horse-faced incarnation of Lord Vishnu, to the great sage Agastya Muni. It forms a sacred bridge between the Lalita Sahasranamam and the Sri Chakra Upasana system.
Unlike ordinary hymns, the Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratnam is not merely a recitation—it is a spiritual initiation (Deeksha) through sound. Every letter describes Devi’s cosmic functions: creation, preservation, and dissolution.
Who is Devi Lalitha Tripura Sundari? | The Deity of Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratna
Lalitha Tripura Sundari Devi is the Supreme Goddess of Sri Vidya Tantra, representing the eternal beauty (Tripura Sundari — Beauty of Three Worlds). She is the consort of Lord Kameshwara (Shiva) and the sovereign queen of the universe.
According to Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratnam and Lalita Sahasranamam, the Devi manifested from the Bindu at the center of Sri Chakra Meru. Her birth was not physical but cosmic — a spontaneous emergence of Divine Consciousness when the universe needed balance between creation and destruction.
She appeared to annihilate the egoic demon Bhandasura, who symbolized ignorance born from unoffered desire. Riding upon a chariot called Chakraraja Ratha, she led the celestial forces and restored Dharma.
To worship Lalita Tripura Sundari is to worship the universe itself, for she dwells in every particle of creation.

Origin and Revelation of ललिता त्रिशती स्तोत्र रत्नम्
The Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratna Namavali originates from the Brahmanda Purana, where Lord Hayagriva (an incarnation of Vishnu) narrates the secret of the three hundred names to Sage Agastya.
Before imparting it, Hayagriva warns that this knowledge is Rahasya – most secret, meant only for those initiated into Śrī Vidya Sadhana. He declares that the recitation of these 300 names pleases Lalitha Maha Tripurasundari even more than a thousand yajñas or austerities.
The Rishi is Hayagriva himself, the Chhanda is Anushtup, and the presiding Deity (Devata) is Sri Lalitha Maheshwari Devi.
Reading the Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratna Namavali is equivalent to meditating upon the entire cosmos. Each nama is a mantra seed, unlocking divine powers within the devotee. Regular recitation leads to:
Inner Purification: The mind becomes calm, subtle, and free from karmic dust.
Spiritual Elevation: Awakens Kundalini Shakti through Devi’s Beeja Mantras.
Material Fulfilment: Grants prosperity, harmony, and auspicious success.
Divine Protection: Acts as an armor (Kavacha) against unseen negativities.
Grace of Devi: Invokes Lalitha’s compassion, transforming obstacles into opportunities.
Hayagriva himself proclaims—
“Among all stotras, none equals Lalita Trishati in pleasing the Divine Mother. Chanting even once with pure devotion assures Her direct presence.”

Who Wrote ललिता त्रिशती स्तोत्र रत्नम्?
The Lalita Trishati Stotra Ratnam is a revealed scripture, not composed by a human. The Rishi (seer) is Lord Hayagriva, who taught it to Sage Agastya as part of the Brahmanda Purana.
Thus, it is a Vaidika Stotra of divine origin. The rhythm (chandas) is Anushtup meter, ensuring that each syllable carries precise vibrational potency.
Why Lalita Trishati is Called “Stotra Ratna”
The word “Ratna” means Gem. Among all hymns dedicated to Devi, this one is a radiant gem of spiritual sound. The 300 names move from Ka–E–La–Hrīṁ kadi vidyā to Ha–Sa–Ka–Ha–La–Hrīṁ hādi vidyā, explaining every hidden aspect of Sri Vidya Tantra.
Each Nama is a mantra in itself. For instance:
“Kalyāṇī Kalyaṇa Guṇa Śālinī” — She who embodies auspicious qualities.
“Hṛīṁ Kāra Rūpā” — She whose form is the sacred sound Hṛīṁ.
“Sarva Sākṣiṇī” — She who witnesses everything.
These names are not poetic but energetic formulas that elevate consciousness from Muladhara to Sahasrara.

Few devotees know that:
Chanting the stotra in a whisper (upāmśu) activates the Sushumna Nadi.
The sequence of Beeja mantras aligns with the petals of Sri Chakra.

The 300 names symbolize the three states of consciousness— Jagrat (waking), Swapna (dream), Sushupti (deep sleep) —and the transcendent state Turīya.
