How to chant it
ॐ डाकिनीश्वर्यै नमः
oṃ ḍākinīśvaryai namaḥ
om dakinishvaryai namah
In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, ḍākinīśvarī, as part of Shloka 99. In the nāmāvalī, the form used for arcana(worship with an offering at each name), it is turned to the dative, the case of offering: “to her”. Then it is framed by oṃ before and namaḥ, “salutation”, after.

How the name is built
Ḍākinī closes the first panel and so belongs to viśuddhi in this hymn; the Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa places her at the root wheel instead, one of the points where the two arrangements of the yoginīs diverge.
the sovereign of the ḍākinīs
vigraha ḍākinīnām īśvarī
a ḍākinī, a female spirit attending on Kālī
mistress, sovereign lady
