ଶ୍ରୀଷୋଡଶୀସହସ୍ରନାମାଵଲୀ (1008 Names)

A thousand and eight names for offering, and the record's own opening salutation gives away what the archana is really for: it is addressed to Mahatripurasundari, so Shodashi and she are being treated as one goddess throughout. Its viniyoga names Dakshinamurti as seer and does something unusual in place of a deity-name, giving instead a single long compound — she whose power is unthinkable, the secret without a womb, gone beyond the Kula and Kaula transmissions both, of every school, revealed and hidden. That clause is the text placing itself above the sectarian divisions of the Shrividya rather than inside one of them. The seeds that follow are the plain three, om and hrim and klim, and the purpose given is the whole fourfold aim of life.
