Meaning
Each "namah" salutes a different form and quality of Santoshi Mata — the daughter of Ganesha, the remover of troubles, the great goddess of contentment, the granter of all wishes, and the gentle, gracious one (Lalita). Chanting these names together is a way of honoring her many aspects in a single practice.
