શ્રી વિદ્યાલક્ષ્મી અષ્ટોત્તરશતનામાવલી
(Sri Vidyalakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamavali in Gujarati)
Also known as vidya lakshmi 108 names · vidyalakshmi namavali · vidya lakshmi ashtottara
The hundred and eight names of Vidyalakshmi — Lakshmi as learning — offered one to a line, each headed by Aim, Sarasvati's own seed, which is this form's mark within the set of eight and tells you at once where the boundary between the two goddesses is being crossed. The names do not pretend otherwise: to Vidyalakshmi, to the goddess of speech, to the supreme goddess, to the blameless, to her with a book in her hand, to the gesture of knowledge. Further in the identification is made outright — to knower of the three times, to Sarasvati, to the great learning, to the fortune of speech, to the famous, to the victorious. The last name is the one an image would show: to her who bears the vina and the book.
