Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Swee, I gave the explanation in the other email. Adding one more line: Sarvarishtanashini, Durgatinashini etc. is the noun or the name. It can also be an adjective. Grammatically, while addressing the deity in the mantra, it is written as Durgatinashinyai, Gauri becomes Gouryai, Durga becomes Durgayai, Narayan becomes Narayanaya, Krishna becomes Krishnaya, Shiva becomes Shivaya, Kalika becomes Kalike etc. The grammar rule changes according to the last vowel in the word and according to the gender as well. Many people make the mistake that her name is Durgatinashinyai or Kalike. It is not so. Her name is Durgatinashini and Kalika.
