Vanadurgā Prārthanā & Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ

Upon the completion of the inner worship (antaraṅga upāsanā), when the seeker, moved by waves of devotion (bhakti-laharī) and tears of offering (āśru-dāna), completes the pūrṇāhuti; when the circumambulation (pradakṣiṇā) through the Divine Names and Forms of Bhagavatī has reached fulfillment — then the following Durgā Prārthanā and Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī (viśeṣa) Nāmāvalīḥ are to be recited.

The following passage is drawn from the Vana Durgā Kalpa, Second Paṭala, which describes the worship of Śrī Vanadurgā after the sacred pūrṇāhuti and pradakṣiṇā.

Here, the devotee, filled with humility, offers a prārthanā — a heartfelt prayer seeking forgiveness, fulfillment, and the unceasing grace of Parameśvarī.

Following this prayer appears the Vanadurgā Saptatriṃśatī Nāmāvalīḥ, a litany of thirty-seven divine names revealing the many forms and powers of Śrī Vanadurgā Parāmbikā , who dwells in every element as strength, wisdom, and auspicious deliverance.

Together, these verses embody the devotee’s complete surrender and the Goddess’s boundless compassion.
