ଶ୍ରୀ ପୀତାମ୍ବରୀ ସହସ୍ରନାମ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names from the Utkata Shambara Nagendraprayana Tantra, the longer half of the passage whose shorter half is the Pitambara Ashtottara in this cluster, spoken by Ishvara when Parvati asks him for the names of the goddess of the brahmastra vidya. Before a single name is given the text puts itself inside a cosmogony: in the terrible single ocean, Keshava as Paramabhairava, seated with Sundari on the serpent couch, had gone into the sleep of yoga, and it was during that sleep that the eternal hymn was first spoken. The verses before the list also say what the vidya is held to do, without softening any of it, and then repeat three times over that the text is to be kept hidden. It runs to nearly two hundred verses and closes on the yellow cloth and yellow scent that give her the name Pitambari.
