ଶ୍ରୀତାରାତକାରାଦିସହସ୍ରନାମସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names of Tara from the Brahmayamala in which every name begins with the letter ta, asked for by Vasishtha and given by Brahma — tell me, grandfather, he says, the thousand names that came from Tara's own lotus mouth and that bring the mantra to accomplishment. The constraint runs the whole length of it, and the poet keeps finding room: a single verse can give her as accomplished by an offering of tagara, the giver of honour through that offering, lightning, one shaped like a creeper of lightning, and one whose eyes are unsteady as lightning. The closing verse says the hymn should be recited alike by those who know Kali and by those who know Tara.
