=== देव्याः नामानि ॥ Names of Devi ===
Verse 26 etymologizes 6 names of Devi. It says,<blockquote>यस्याः स्वरूपं ब्रह्मादयो न जानन्ति तस्मादुच्यतेऽज्ञेया । यस्या अन्तो न विद्यते तस्मादुच्यतेऽनन्ता । यस्या ग्रहणं नोपलभ्यते तस्मादुच्यतेऽलक्ष्या । यस्या जननं नोपलभ्यते तस्मादुच्यतेऽजा । एकैव सर्वत्र वर्तते तस्मादुच्यत एका । एकैव विश्वरूपिणी तस्मादुच्यते नैका । अत एवोच्यतेऽज्ञेयाऽनन्ताऽलक्ष्याऽजैका नैका ॥२६॥<ref name=":3" />
yasyāḥ svarūpaṁ brahmādayo na jānanti tasmāducyate'jñeyā । yasyā anto na vidyate tasmāducyate'nantā । yasyā grahaṇaṁ nopalabhyate tasmāducyate'lakṣyā । yasyā jananaṁ nopalabhyate tasmāducyate'jā । ekaiva sarvatra vartate tasmāducyata ekā । ekaiva viśvarūpiṇī tasmāducyate naikā । ata evocyate'jñeyā'nantā'lakṣyā'jaikā naikā ॥26॥</blockquote>Meaning: Brahma and others know not Her essence; so is she called 'Ajneya' or 'unknowable'. She has no end; so is she called 'Ananta' or 'endless'. She is not grasped and so is she called 'Alakshya' or 'incomprehensible'. Her birth is not known and so is she called 'Aja' or 'unborn'. She alone is present everywhere, and so is she called 'Eka' or 'the One'. She alone wears all forms, and so, is she called 'Naika' or 'the Many'. For these reasons is she called,<ref name=":2" />

Further it says,<blockquote>मन्त्राणां मातृका देवी शब्दानां ज्ञानरूपिणी । ज्ञानानां चिन्मयातीता शून्यनां शून्यसाक्षिणी ॥२७॥
यस्याः परतरं नास्ति सैषा दुर्गा प्रकीर्तिता । तां दुर्गां दुर्गमां देवीं दुराचारविघातिनीम् । नमामि भवभीतोऽहं संसारार्णवतारिणीम् ॥२८॥<ref name=":3" />

Her conscious form transcends all cognitions; She is the witness of all emptiness.
