Lalitā Sahasranāma ◆, Name 88 of 1000: मूलमन्त्रात्मिकामूल-मन्त्रात्मिका · MūlamantrātmikāMūla-mantrātmikā

She is not represented by the root mantra; she is what the root mantra is made of.

In the stotra the name is chanted as it stands, mūlamantrātmikā, as part of Shloka 36. 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.

The -ātmaka suffix carries the possessive force, so the word is taken here as a taddhita derivative of the tatpuruṣa mūlamantrātman; it is also commonly read as a bahuvrīhi, she whose self is the root mantra.
