ॐ स्मृत्यै नमः

om smrityai namah
In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, smṛtiḥ, as part of Shloka 110. 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.
