# Lalitā Sahasranāma -- ललितासहस्रनाम

## Why This Text Is in the Bundle

The Lalitā Sahasranāma is theology compressed into liturgy: its thousand names systematically encode Tripurasundarī's supremacy (names identifying her with Nirguṇa and Saguṇa Brahman alike), her cosmological functions, the Śrī Cakra's architecture (names walking through the cakra's circuits), the subtle-body doctrine, and the tradition's philosophical positions, all in recitable form with Bhāskararāya's landmark commentary as its systematic unpacking. It is the standing demonstration that in Śrī-Vidyā the PUBLIC layer is already doctrinally complete (see [srividya.md](../concepts/srividya.md) on public esotericism): the Sahasranāma is recited openly worldwide while the vidyā proper remains dīkṣā-bound.

## Use in This Bundle

- [sri-chakra.md](../concepts/sri-chakra.md): the names that traverse the cakra's structure

## Editions

Sanskrit with Bhāskararāya's Saubhāgya-bhāskara commentary is the scholarly standard; multiple English translations exist (including widely used devotional editions). Recitation traditions are living and global.
