Lalitā Sahasranāma ◆, Name 757 of 1000: क्षराक्षरात्मिका · Kṣarākṣarātmikā

What decays and what never decays are both her, so that nothing falls outside her nature.

In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, kṣarākṣarātmikā, as part of Shloka 146. 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.

Recite it among the thousand names →Loop its shloka until you know it →

Tap a syllable to see the letters inside it and hear each sound.

In ātmikā the -ka suffix already means having, so the word is taken as a derivative of kṣarākṣarātman; a bahuvrīhi reading, she whose self is the perishable and the imperishable, is also current.
