Verses have variations in different books as far as text and
verse numbers are concerned.
The devotee is urged to recite the stotra with devotion and
pray Devi to receive the offering well and forgive for any
unintentional errors caused by variations found in literature.

Comments by Kumar Sundrarajan Rajendra
\medskip
Q: What is the significance of the Siddha Kunjika Stotram ?
A: This is the essence of the Chandi, the Navarna Mantra, the constant reminder
that change She will, change She must, because change is Her intrinsic Nature.

Q: What is the meaning of ‘Kunjika’ in the Siddha Kunjika Stotram?
A: Kunjika literally means “something overgrown or hidden by growth or
growing things.” Siddha means perfection. Stotram is the song.
The Song of Perfection which is no longer hidden because of growth.
That is, our spiritual growth and understanding of the Chandi exposes
the hidden meanings of the bija mantras in the Song.

Q: When to recite kunjika stotatram ?
A: Recite especially when one does not have time or do not want to chant
the entire long Durga SaptaShati/Chandi Path. The Siddha
Kunjika Stotra itself says at the begining that no argala or kilak stotra and
other related matters is needed if one recites Siddha Kunjika Stotra. Kunjika,
there is Devi in the form of Chamunda. Not only it works for Navaratri , it is
to be chanted at the junction when Ashtami leaves and enters Navami . 24 mins
before Ashtami ends to 24 mins after navami starts, is the time when Devi takes
the form of Chamunda and had got to be chanted no matter the count to exhaust 48
mins .

Q: How to Count 48 minutes
A: Each Tithi lasts for 24 hours . If for example, the Navami starts at 21.30 pm
in the night then you should start at 21.06 (which is Ashtami ) and
continue untill 21.54 pm, that 48 mins is called Sandhi kShaN or period
of transit, when Devi in the form of Chamunda is killing Chanda
and Munda (the demons). That is regarded as the most auspiscious
time of Navaratri as Devi is ready to give boon after Sandhi kShaN .
