Dear list members,Firstly happy Navaratri.
Secondly I'm wondering what the best way to translate bhagavati and bhagavan would be. The target audience is a non-specialist non-sanskritist audience. The contexts are typically where someone is addressing a god or goddess where the actual name of the god/goddess is also mentioned fairly close . A typical example would be this gayatrī to annapūrṇā .
bhagavatyai ca vidmahe
māheśvaryai ca dhīmahi
tan no annapūrṇā pracodayāt
