ଶ୍ରୀଯୋଗନାଯିକା ଅଥଵା ରାଜରାଜେଶ୍ଵରୀ ସହସ୍ରନାମସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names of Rajarajeshvari in which every single one begins with the letter ra. The heading says so outright — the whole is put together of first letters running from ra to ra — and two hundred and one verses keep it up without a break. The constraint shapes what can be said. Because raja itself begins with the letter, the opening verses give her every kind of royalty: queen of kings, protector of kings, dancer before kings, the royal science, the one whom kings worship, the giver of a full treasury. Later runs turn on ratna, on rakta and on rajani — jewels, redness, and the night. The same thousand stands in this corpus in salutation form as the Yoganayika Rajarajeshvari Sahasranamavali.
