Lalita Sahasranama # 32

Ratnagraiveyacintakalolamukatpalanvita

Ratna katicena Graiveyena cintakena lolaisca muktaphalaisca anvita

Neck encircled with gem bedecked pendants of the necklace and a pearl necklace quivering

This refers to two ornaments: Golden necklace having gem -bedecked pendants, and necklace of pearl.

Grivyameva cinta yesyam te graiveya cintakajhlolah muktaisca, tesam yani ratnabhutani aphalani taih anvia

Here the word graiveyacintaka means those who concentrate on the neck of the goddess; those who are not able to fix the deity in the heart but worship her externally are the middle class worshippers
The word Lola according to this interpretation means those who fickle. The Amarakosa says, Lola means fickle and greed these are the lowest worshippers
The muktas are the highest worshippers
In all these three classes the fruit is to be obtained according to the worship and She is the giver of the fruit to her worshippers.
