This is the “Shri Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali”. Its verse form is the Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram that begins “Prakritim vikritim vidyam…”, in which Ishvara (Shiva) tells the names when the Goddess asks. Other lists of Lakshmi’s names are printed under the same title, such as the one beginning “Brahmaja, Brahmasukhada, Brahmanya…” and the one beginning “Shuddhalakshmi, Buddhilakshmi, Varalakshmi…”; the Ashtalakshmi namavalis are separate again. Main differences between the sources: name 29 is “Kshirodasambhava” (born of the Ocean of Milk) in some sources. Name 30 is “Anugrahaprada” (giver of grace) in several popular lists, while most texts of the stotram and one printed namavali read “Anugrahapada”. Several texts of the stotram have “Sada saumya” for name 87 and “Sarvopadravaharini” for name 103. Drik Panchang’s namavali has “Dipa” at 23 and “Satya” at 68, and one printed stotram has “Kshama” instead of “Kamakshi” at 28. “Dipta” (23, 36) and “Devi” (50, 102) come twice in the stotram itself. All the namavalis count the stotram’s “mangalam devim” as one name (96); that is how the count reaches 108.
