শ্রী কালী কীলক স্তোত্রম্

The pin-hymn of the Kali set, with Sadashiva named as its seer and Dakshina Kalika as its deity, and it is the piece that explains why the other two exist. Its last verse states the rule that governs all three: one who reads the Kali armour without the pin and the bolt leaves all his mantras and all his hymns without effect. The body of it places the gradations of the fire upon the reciter — let Prabha stand at the tip of the foot, Dipta on the toes, Nila at the point and Ghana in the resonance — so that the pinning goes downward through the body and upward through the sound at once. Hindi glosses stand appended inside the verses.
