THIS celebrated Kaula Stotra, which is now translated from the Sanskrit for the first time, is attributed to Mahakala Himself.<br/>One of the chief features of this Stotra is that it gives the mantroddhara of the Dakshina-Kalika. It not only gives us the Dhyana, Yantra, Sadhana and Svarupa-varnana of the Mahadevi, but it also contains the chief Mantras of Daksinakalika. The adjective "Tava manu-samuddharanajanu" qualifying "idam stotram" in sloka 21 expressly states this fact.
