The twenty-fifth mantra names Jānakī — the daughter of Janaka, that is, Sītā.
She is set last of the four goddesses, and this place is not accidental: first Sarasvatī, then Lakṣmī, then Gaurī — and only then their own.
The doxology goes from the general to the nearest.
Recall what Sītā has been in this book. In the third Upaniṣad of the pūrva she was named tanmayā — “made of the same” — and co-worshipped; in the eighth verse of the fourth — parameśvarī and jagad-yoni, the highest sovereign lady and the womb of the world; in the seventh paragraph of the second chapter of the uttara — she who makes the worlds “by the power of Śrī-Rāma's nearness”; in the eighth — mūla-prakṛti.
And here is the last thing that can be said of her: she is He.
Here the book speaks out what it has moved toward from the beginning. The comparison with the moon and the moonlight was an image; the names “śakti” and “prakṛti” were doctrine; and this is confession.
The word jānakī is chosen instead of “Sītā” deliberately. It names her by her father: the daughter of the king of Mithilā, found in the furrow. The doxology calls her not by an abstract name but by a homely one.
