ଶ୍ରୀ ଗୁହ୍ଯକାଲୀ ସୁଧାଧାରା ସ୍ତଵଃ

A stava of Guhyakali from the Mahakala Samhita, ascribed to Adinatha and spoken by Mahakala Rudra, and almost the whole of it is negative. Verse after verse is a chain of ablatives saying what is not the case of her — because she is without lineage and without shape, because she is not confined to any one thing, because she is not marked out by scripture, because she has no parts, because she originates nothing, because she is uncommon, unrelated, of undivided ground, not a cause, and without beginning or end — and every chain resolves in the same line: you alone are established as the form of the supreme brahman. Only in the middle does a figure appear at all, on the throne of the syllable e with both feet pressed down upon Shiva and Bhairava.
