The first translation that came to me for lolajihvānukāriṇi was what Lubomir Ondracka suggests. "You who resemble a goddess with a rolling tongue". But that seemed a little strange to me  since nīlasarasvatī is tārā a goddess with a rolling tongue so why would you say  "she resembles a goddess with a rolling tongue" when she is a goddess with a rolling tongue..

Is it possible the meaning could be similar to what Roland Steiner suggests "resembling a rolling tongue" meaning as a fierce form of the goddess "resembling a rolling tongue lapping up blood" or something similar?

I think the reading lolajihvānukāriṇi is correct because I  found another manuscript (NGMCP A 1215/58) in addition to the manuscripts in the Muktabodha digital library that has that reading. But if you search on-line you can find some versions in blogs or webpages  which in place of  lolajihvānukāriṇi the reading lolajihvāntakāriṇi but since I didn't find that reading in any manuscripts I assumed that was probably a modern change to a difficult reading.

Lolajihvā is a common appellation of goddesses with a lolling tongue (Kālī, Tārā...).

So I would understand this vocative as "[you, who] resemble (anukāriṇi) [a goddess] with a lolling tongue (lolajihvā)".

In some texts, Lolajihvā is a name of a yoginī, so other option would be "[you, who] look like [a yoginī] Lolajihvā", but I think this is less probable.

Best,
Lubomir
