Variety of Names in Mahalakshmi Ashtakam

Some of the names attributed to Goddess Lakshmi is this mantra are very interesting and intriguing at the same time, and they make you marvel at the poetic ingenuity. For example, आद्यन्तरहिते (Ādyantarahite)–this word means ‘The one who is start-end-less); another one is महाशक्तिमहोदरे (Mahāśaktimahodare)–this word means ‘The supreme power and the one who has a supreme belly’, which is interesting because Lord Ganesha is particularly attributed the name of Lambodara, which means ‘The one having a large belly’. The similarity in these names often vindicates the unity of singularity of the Godhead, though the names and forms are different.
