Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 74: Shri Bhanda Putra Vadhodyukta Bala Vikrama Nandita (OM bhaNDaputravadhodyuktabAlAvikramananditAyai namaH)


In Namams 64 to 84, we will be seeing the Divine Mother destroying the Bhandasura.

The Divine Mother is delighted to see the valour of Herself as Goddess Bala in destroying Bhanda’s sons in the war.

Bhanda had thirty sons starting with the name Caturbahu and ending with Upamaya. They can take turn in a lunar month 30 days. Every day the son of the day tries to turn the Samsarara bound jiva more and more intoxicated and conceited. The nine-year old Bala destroys Bhanda’s sons.

Goddess Bala can be referred as Balamantra. Those who wish to get Srividya needs to learn the Balamantra first. Any devotee in his deep involvement in Sadhana will be unaware of the day and night passing. This experience is considered good. The Divine Mother is delighted by this.


Close enough meanings:
Nandita is pleased; happy
Vikrama is heroism; courage
