The sixth name opens the row of five feminine ones: Sarasvatī, Śrī, Gaurī, Prakṛti, Vidyā.
Sarasvatī is the goddess of speech and knowledge, the wife of Brahmā; and she stands first, right after the five masculine names.
This order is the same as in the litany of the Rāma-tāpanī, where Sarasvatī went first of the four goddesses.
Note why precisely speech.
Because the whole second Upaniṣad of this book proved: the anuṣṭubh is vāk, speech; and it is that by which everything is created and into which everything is gathered. The goddess of speech is not one of the names in the row, but the name of the very thing the book is about.
The masculine predicate with a feminine name gives no trouble: the subject is one for all thirty-two, and it is Nṛsiṃha.
