The glorious thousands of sacred names of Goddess Narmada was composed by Rudra Rishi, presiding deity is Sri Narmada, it has Hrim as Beejam, Sri as Shakthi, Swaha as Keelakam, it is recited to please Goddess Narmada.


Rishyadhi Nyasa – I shall prostrate before supreme Lord and assume the presence of  Rudrarishi on head, Viradhuchandhas on face, Sri Narmadha Devatha in my heart, Hreem Beeja on  genitals, Shreem Shakthi on feet, Swaha keelakam on navel, I shall assume the presence  of Goddess Narmada on Sarvanga/all parts of the body, and it is used to recite to please Sri Narmada.


Karanga Nyasa – I shall offer humble salutation to Goddess Narmada with the thumb placing on my heart, I shall offer humble salutation to Goddess Narmada with the fore finger placing on my head, I shall offer humble salutation to Goddess Narmada with the middle finger placing on tuft, I shall offer salutation to Goddess Narmada with the ring finger and assuming it as armor, I shall offer humble salutation to Goddess Narmada with the little finger on eyes,  I shall offer humble salutation to Goddess Narmada with the palm and back portion of palm assuming it as arrow.


I shall meditate upon Goddess Narmada, who is divine and provider of auspiciousness, she has dark complexion, she is youthful, her face has the luster of dark blue clouds, she has the resemblance to lotus flower, her face has the luster of moon, she is decked in various ornaments and garlands, her lotus hands are in Varada/offering boon posture, she symbolizes sacred river, she carries umbrella, she is eulogized by deities, Rishis and sages.   Oh! Hara Narmadhe, who is the source of Hara, she is fond of worship of Haralinga, she worships Haralinga on ashore, and she is the provider of success in endeavors.  The sacred river Goddess Narmada is venerated with the Yanthra or meditation/sacred chants or with the Manasaupachara.
