Lalita Sahasranama # 371

Vaikharirupa

1) visesa kharah (=kathinah) tasyeyam= vaikhari
saiva rupam yasyah
She who is the form of vaikhari speech

According to this interpretation, the word vaikhari is explained thus: vi=much, khara=hard. Because this form of speech is gross form (i.e., physical) hence it is vaikhari.

2) vai (=niscayena) kham (=karnavivaram) rati = (gacchati)

i.e., vai means definitely Kham to the ears, rati enters. That which certainly enters the ear.

But according to the Yogasastra, It is called vaikhari because it raises the vikharvayu upward.
