What is the significance or reason behind repeating a word in a row multiple times in a stotram?

Question

This is about Mahisasura mardini stotram.

Some words are used more than once for example, in 11th sloka it is

अयि सुमनःसुमनःसुमनः सुमनःसुमनोहरकान्तियुते

Ayi Sumanah-Sumanah-Sumanah Sumanah-Sumanohara-Kaanti-Yute

Internet search only says what is Sumanah-s. I am aware of what is it but I do not understand the usage of it four times. There are more such instances here. It is not just about the meaning of particular word but I want to understand the intention of using one word more than ones in a row.

Answer 1

According to the translation given here, Sumanah means "beautiful mind" throughout i.e in all the applications the word is having the same meaning.

But I have a small book published by the Ramakrishna Mutt called "Sri Mahishasura Mardini Stotram" (consisting of three Stotras - the one discussed here, Bhavani Ashtakam by Adi Shankara and the Amba Stotram by Swami Vivekananda) according which the various Sumanahs found in the line have different meanings.

Following are the meanings of the various words in the line:

Ayi - O Mother, 1st Sumanah (of superior qualities), 2nd Sumanah - of the residents of Divyadhama or of heavens, 3rd Sumanah - grown in their gardens, Sumanohara Sumanah - beautiful Parijata flower.

So, the overall meaning of this half verse is rendered thus:

O Mother! You are endowed with exquisite beauty of the flowers, that are grown in the gardens of the good-souled residents of the heavens ..

However, the meaning as per the already linked website is simply this:

Ayi Sumanah-Sumanah-Sumanah Sumanah-Sumanohara-Kaanti-Yute

11.1: Salutations to You O Divine Mother; I Invoke You; Whose Beautiful Mind is United with a Charming Appearance

Answer 2

Repeated words are using for emphasizing something, i.e. If someone helps us then we used to say thank you, and we trapped somewhere and someone takes out from that, then we used to say very very thank you.

Other examples are : good, very good, very very good, very very special, very very beautiful.. In short, if we want to emphasize on something we use such kinds of repeated keywords. Same thing here in sloka सुमनःसुमनःसुमनः सुमनः tends for very very beautiful, gracious, wise, pleasant, good-minded etc.
