Description and curator notes
Pārvatī asks Bhairava for Mahākālī’s hundred names, and the answer presents the Goddess as world mother, source of knowledge, destroyer, protector, and giver of prosperity. Kapālinī and Kurukullā occur alongside Bhadrakālī and Mahāmāyā. Concluding verses recommend the shorter hundred-name recitation in relation to the thousand-name form. The complete twenty-third chapter is supplied; despite the website category label, the text itself explicitly calls this a hundred-name hymn.
