॥ Śrī Tārā Aṣṭottara Śatanāmāvali ॥ (श्री तारा अष्टोत्तर शतनामावलि)
108 Names of Tārā
Prologue: Śrī Tārā Aṣṭottara Śatanāmāvali describes Śrī Tārā Devi 108 names with corresponding attributes. The accompanying stotraṃ describes the use and the benefits accrued from reciting the stotraṃ, also known as the Śrī Tārā Aṣṭottara Śatanāma Stotram or Śrī Tārā Śatanāma Stotram and the Śatanāmāvali on a regular basis. Benefits include promised abundant wealth and removal of all types of misery and is also a means of obtaining everlasting peace and union with the Divine Mother.
One who recites the attributes and/or the stotraṃ a thousand times, earns the merit equivalent to performing a puraścaraṇa for any of Her mantras.
One who recites on a Tuesday, in due course of time will become a leader of people. Likewise, in due course of time, one will surely attain liberation within this lifetime itself! The names themselves are derived from Svarṇamālā tantram.
Unstinted devotion and faith towards the Divine Mother is a definite pre-requisite. A mere recitation of the names may not generate the aforementioned benefits. It is best to fully understand the meanings and contemplate upon them. Doing so will also help in our spiritual ascension and will bring us closer to self-realization.
In conclusion, one who recites this Śatanāmāvali or the associated stotraṃ on a regular basis, will benefit immensely by the grace of the Divine Mother Śrī Tārā Devi. A devotee seeking material benefits may also add the bījas śrīm̐ or hrīm̐ or klīm̐ or krīm̐ or strīm̐ or any others as needed, individually or in any combination. The bīja om̐ itself, is the seed syllable of Śrī Tārā Devi heralding auspiciousness, protection and fulfillment, in all aspects.

Pranam Krishnaji, Nama ॐ अनघायै नमः (Number 85) is not part of Tara Shatnam Stotram here: https://manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-tara-satanama-stotram An ultra-minor inconsequential inconsistency between stotram & namavali is, in Tara Shatnam Storam Nama तत्त्वप्रियायै (Number 83 above) comes before तत्त्वरूपायै (Number 82 above)
