Sri Shyamala Shodasha Nama Stotram

1–2. Hayagriva, the divine form of knowledge, praises the Goddess with sixteen sacred names —
“Sangeeta Yogini, Shyama, Shyamala, Mantra Nayika, Mantrini, Sachiveshi, Pradhaneshi, Shuka Priya, Veena Vati, Vainiki, Mudrini, Priyaka Priya, Neepa Priya, Kadambeshi, Kadamba Vanavasini, and Sadamada.”
These names describe Shyamala as the Goddess of speech, wisdom, music, and charm — the embodiment of mantra, melody, and grace.
    3.    Hayagriva declares to Sage Kumbhaja —
“One who recites these sixteen names even once, with devotion, praising the sacred Sachiveshvari Shyamala, gains mastery over all three worlds — without doubt.”

Summary:
This Sri Shyamala Shodasha Nama Stotram from the Lalita Upakhyana of the Brahmanda Purana is a concise yet potent invocation of the Goddess of Speech, Shyamala Devi (Matangi). Each of the sixteen names reflects her divine aspects — wisdom, eloquence, mantra power, musical excellence, and compassionate sovereignty.
Reciting this hymn with devotion bestows command over words, influence, prosperity, and spiritual fulfillment — as if holding the entire universe in one’s palm.
