Description and curator notes
Sadāśiva introduces a name hymn of Ādyā Kālikā whose opening combines seed syllables with Kālī, Karālī, Kalyāṇī, and Kalāvatī. The names describe divine attributes and powers, followed by material on recitation and its benefits. It represents the Mahānirvāṇa Tantra’s distinctive name tradition. Although many names begin with k, it should be distinguished from both the Muṇḍamālā sequence and the 108-name list used on KaliDevotion.com.
