Description and curator notes
A major twenty-two-verse hymn to Dakṣiṇakālī, combining encoded mantric syllables, visualization, devotional praise, and statements about the fruits of worship. Its imagery includes the Goddess standing with Śiva, her weapons and gestures, and the cremation ground. The work is important for linking Kālī’s iconographic form to tantric contemplation and poetic creativity. Alternate print editions and translations should be associated with this work rather than counted as unrelated scriptures.
