ஶ்ரீ காலீ ஜகந்மங்கல கவசம்

An armour from the conversation of Bhairava and Bhairavi, its seer Shiva and its deity Dakshina Kalika, and it is unusual in being made almost wholly of syllables rather than of names. Verse by verse the mantras of Kali are set on the body by their length: the one-syllabled krim on the head, the twenty-two-syllabled across the shoulders, a three-syllabled Chamunda at the heart, an eight-syllabled on the arms, a six on the hands, a ten on the back, a seven at the secret parts and a fourteen at the feet, so that the body is covered by the vidyas counted out one after another. Only then do persons appear: fifteen Kalis by name, Kapalini and Kulla and Kurukulla and Vipracitta among them, all sword-bearing and garlanded with skulls, and after them the Mothers with their own weapons at the ten directions.
