Description and curator notes
The text opens with meditations on Mahākālī, Kālikā, and Bhadrakālī before presenting a long name sequence in a Hara–Paraśurāma dialogue. The names place the Goddess in multiple ritual and cosmic settings, while the final verses describe the benefits of recitation. This is a separate thousand-name tradition from the alliterative kakārādi list and the Bhadrakālī list attributed to Rudrasarvasva; the alternative Bhadrakālī title is preserved in this edition.
