The twelve devotees are Manu, Lopamudra, Durvaasa, and Manmatha belonging to kaadi vidya .Moon nandikeswara and shanmukha belonging to saadi vidya and kubera agasthya sun, vishnu and shiva belonging to haadi vidya . These worships based on panchadasaakshari manthra contain the secret of creation .

In Soundarya Lahari, Shiva and Shakthi are addressed as samarasa paraananda parayoho in sloka no. 34
Their equality is five fold; In poojas like srichakra there is Adhishtaana saamyam. In kriyaas like srishti sththi etc. Anushtaana saamyam . In dance like laasya and thandava Avasthaana saamyam . In names like Shiva Shivaa and Bhairava-Bhairavi , Naama saamyam . In red-hued complexion and the possession of the third eye , Roopa saamyam .

With this keerthna the Navaavaranam is complete .The next song invokes the auspiciousness of Devi to bestow prosperity .
