Kṣayamkarī (क्षयम्करी) refers to the “destruction”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Goddess Śivā who was residing in the womb of Menā:—“O Goddess, be victorious, O intelligent one, O mother of the universe, O great Goddess, O you of true rites, prone to truth, true in three things, O truth-formed. O you stationed in truth, we have sought refuge in you. O you delighted with truth, Origin of truth, Truth of Truth, of truthful sight. O beloved of Śiva, great goddess, O destroyer of the miseries of gods [i.e., devaduḥkha-kṣayaṅkarī], you are the mother of the three worlds, consort of Śiva, pervasive and favourably disposed to your devotees. [...]”.
