Description and curator notes

A metrical litany of Kālī names beginning with the consonant k, introduced through a dialogue between Śiva and Pārvatī. The opening names Karālavadanā, Kālī, Kāminī, Kamalā, and Kalā identify a sequence different from the list displayed on KaliDevotion.com. Its concluding verses concern the merits and ritual setting of recitation. The text supplies an important comparison for distinguishing related kakārādi name traditions.
