ককারাদি আদ্যা কালিকাশতনামাবলী

A hundred names of Adya Kalika from the seventh chapter of the Mahanirvana Tantra, every one of them beginning with the letter ka, so that the list is described in its own title as made out of the ka-cluster of her mantra. Sadashiva speaks it, and the introductory verses give the reasons — the quieting of ill fortune, the increase of ease and of wealth, the turning aside of untimely death and of every calamity. The names themselves are gentler than the title leads one to expect. A long stretch of them is set in a kadamba forest: she wanders there and dwells there, is pleased by its flowers and garlanded with them, and is called a young girl, sweet-throated, and sounding a sweet note.
