Yaśaskṛt (यशस्कृत्) refers to the “conferer of fame”, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “[...] O Mother! Great Goddess! Supreme Goddess! People proclaim you Lakṣmī, Parā Prakṛti, who has chowries as lovely distinctive marks and who bears a sole [royal] parasol covering the entire world. They proclaim you as the conferer of fame (yaśaskṛtmātar maheśvari yaśaskṛtam), the primordial power, and the supervisor of both higher and lower realms”.
