Lalitha Sahasranamam Shri: Namam 388: Shri Nitya klinna (OM nityaklinnAyai namaH)

In Namams 381 to 474, the Divine Mother’s Jnana Yoga worship methods are discussed in details.

The Divine Mother is ever compassionate to Her devotees. 

Klinna means melting or being in wet condition. The old saying is that a hard hearted person has no wetness or softness or kindness in him for others. A healthy person has a glowing skin; naturally, humans have soft glowing skin in their growing stage of life.The Divine Mother is ever soft or kind hearted. She rules the universe strictly, yet She is very compassionate; She is storehouse of kindness. Her motherly kindness is ever there for Her devotees. That means that even with strict ruling, She shows Her kindness. She is keen to mature the souls through Her compassion, She is called Nityaklinna. 

Another way of saying is that Her heart is always wet or soft for Her devotees; Her compassion is there eternally. 

Nityaklinna is the deity worshipped during Moon growing phase third night and also on Moon waning phase thirteenth night. Garuda Purana says that She is Tripurasundari, the bestower of good luck and liberation from samsara cycle for Her devotees. 

Sighting growing phases third night Moon is long standing tradition among Hindus; other religions such as Muslims also consider that Moon sighting on that growing phase third night as an auspicious thing.

The Divine Mother as Raja Rajeswari bestowing Her Compassion to her devotee.
