Description and curator notes

This hymn repeatedly asks the world-sustaining Kālī to make her dwelling in the speaker’s mind. Its praises bring together the Goddess’s cosmic role, visual attributes, and intimacy as a devotional presence. The refrain makes inward residence a central theme. The digital edition records its source in a printed stotra anthology, making it a useful example of the circulation of Kālī devotion through later collected hymn literature.
