শ্ৰী কালী শান্তি স্তোত্ৰম্

A peace-hymn to Guhyakali which works its idea of peace out through two long lists. The second is the one the title points at: every unit of time is called by name — the nine planets, the lunar days, the constellations and the signs, the transits, years, months and seasons, then kala and kashtha and muhurta, fortnights, days and nights, manvantaras, kalpas, ages and the joints between ages — and each is asked, at Guhyakali's command, to be auspicious to the reciter. The first is its opposite, a catalogue of what is to be dissolved, from demons and spirits down to the creatures that move by day, by night and at dusk. Between them sits the plainest verse in it: I set no store by Veda or austerity or gift or fast or penance, and know only the service of your feet. It is a Kaula text, and its early verses ask well-being for that community and call down harm on those who deride it.
