Explanation for some of the namas in this post

Chitkalā is the first vibration (spanda) of the Supreme Consciousness (Śiva–Śakti). Before any creation, there is only pure chit — awareness without object. When this Awareness takes on the slightest motion or self-recognition (“I am”), that spark is called Chitkalā.

चित्कला chitkalā : The aspect (kalā) of pure consciousness (cit) — the subtlest form of awareness, the seed of all creation.

आनन्द-कलिका ānanda-kalikā : The tiny bud (kalikā) of bliss (ānanda); the tender shoot of divine joy arising from pure consciousness.

प्रेमरूपा prema-rūpā : Whose very nature (rūpa) is divine love (prema). She is love itself, not merely loving.

प्रियङ्करी priyaṅkarī : The one who makes her devotees dear to all, or who bestows affection, delight, and devotion — “the giver of dearness.”

Taken together, we can interpret it as : "She who is the aspect of pure consciousness (Chitkalā), the tender bud of divine bliss (Ānandakalika), whose very nature is pure love (Prema-rūpā), and who bestows affection and delight (Priyaṅkarī)." Thus, the verse poetically portrays the Divine Mother as the organic unfolding of Consciousness → Bliss → Love → Grace.
