Description and curator notes

A second distinct Kāmākhyā protective hymn, notable for its directional litany. Verse 10 names Kālikā as guardian of the south, while additional verses place Tārā and other goddesses in surrounding directions. Comparing the phrasing with the second kavaca and the earlier Hariprokta witness offers useful evidence of variation within goddess-protection texts.
