These are feminine gender names (strilinga) and in pratham vibhakti, so they are thus. As simple as that. Simple understanding of Sanskrit will avoid such questions.

Cherry picking of one or two verses per our convenience is not allowed. You can use the entire stotra as a means of unlocking the benefits of any particular mantra, yantra, kavaca, stotra etc. Regular recitation of this stotra along with that of the particular mantra, kavaca, stotra etc, may unlock the benefits over a period of time.

In the context of the stotram and the setting of the battlefield seems to justify the presence of the dīrghas. While discussing the individual nāmas, they need not be in this format. For convenience, we took the nāmas AS IS and interpreted them. You can remove the dīrghas when reading through the explanations.

Verse number 13 " om̐ hrīm̐ jūm̐ sarva mantra yantra tantra stotra kavacādīnāṃ sañjīvanāṃ kuru kuru svāhā । (11 times recitation) , can this verse be recited 11 times to unlock a stotra or kavacha. Need your advice, Thx ji.

I would strongly suggest approaching your guru for the mantra initiation for Śrī Bālā also. If not feasible, you may contact anyone on our initiations page and proceed from there. Please note that there is no need to pursue this mantra, if you already have another mantra and reciting it regularly. There is no benefit in reciting multiple mantras, when one single mantra of a higher deity is capable of giving all benefits!

Sharing a most beautiful visualization of Ganapati from Arthur Avalon’s rendering of the tantric text Sharada Tilaka. (8th century work authored by Sri Lakshmana Desikendra). Verses 31-38 say that he is to be meditated upon as seated on a lotus consisting of the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet ( Matrikambuja ). The Sadhaka should meditate upon an island composed of nine gems, placed in an ocean of sugar- cane juice ; a soft gentle breeze blows over the island and makes the waves wash the shore thereof. The place is a forest of Mandara, Parijata and other Kalpa trees and creepers, and the light from the gems thereon casts a red glow on the ground. The six gladdening seasons are always there. The sun and the moon brighten up the place. In the middle of the island is a Parijata tree whereon are the nine gems and beneath it is the great Pitha ( altar ) on which is the lotus whereon is seated Mahaganapati. His face is that of the great elephant with the moon on it. He is red and has three eyes. He is held in loving embrace by his beloved who is seated in his lap and has a lotus in her hand. In each of his ten hands he is holding a pomegranate, a mace, a bow, a trident, a discus, a lotus, a noose, a red water-lily, a sheaf of paddy and his own tusk. He is holding a jewelled jar in his trunk. By the flapping of his ears, he is driving away the bees attracted to his temples by the fluid exuding therefrom, and he is scattering gems from out of the jar held in his trunk. He is wearing a ruby-studded crown and is adorned with gems.
