சதுஃஷஷ்டி யோகிநீ நாம ஸ்தோத்ரம் (ப்ரதம)

The names of the sixty-four Yoginis as given in the Lakshmi Narayana Samhita, and this recension names them by their faces. Elephant-faced and lion-faced, vulture-faced and crow-beaked; camel-faced, horse- and donkey-necked, boar-faced and jackal-faced; owl-eyed and terrible-voiced, peacock-faced and sharabha-faced; hollow-eyed, eight-faced, hunchbacked, fierce-visaged. The list runs on through dog-toothed and monkey-faced, bear-eyed and squint-eyed, and the effect of the naming is cumulative — a circle of attendant powers, each fixed by a single distinguishing feature. Recited for protection and for victory over obstacles.
