Lalita Sahasranama # 442

Kumaragananathamba
1) kumarah (=skandah) gananathah (=gajananah) tayoh amba
The mother of Kumara (Skanda) and Gananatha ( Ganesh)

2) kutsito maraganah (=smaravikara samuhah) yesam, tannathan ambate (badhnati)
According to this interpretation, ku (kutsita)= inferior, maragana means passional modifications, natha = Lords, amba means the binder. i.e., destroyer. Thus it would mean she who destroys the lords of passional modifications

3) The world kumara may also mean egoism as Kumara (i.e., Skanda) is the deity of ahamkara. Hence She binds and punishes those who possess the qualities of ahamkara (egoism)
