A hundred and eight names for good fortune, and they are not in free order: they fall into runs keyed to the letters of the fifteen-syllable mantra. The list opens with a long ka-run — Kameshvari, Kamashakti, the giver of the good fortune of desire, Kamarupa, Kamakala — and moves on through a, e, i and la, with hrim taken apart into its own letters to give the ha and ra runs, before closing on sa. Read straight through, the effect is of a mantra unfolded into names rather than of names gathered under a heading. Saubhagya in the title is the thread that holds it: the early names give it, and the late ones say what it consists of — lightness, sameness, truth, continuity, the eternal.
