ଶ୍ରୀଯୋଗନାଯିକା ରାଜରାଜେଶ୍ଵରୀ ସହସ୍ରନାମାଵଲିଃ

The salutation form of the thousand names of Rajarajeshvari that also stands in this corpus as a stotra in verse; the count in the margin runs past a thousand, to 1069. Every name begins with the letter ra, as the heading says: the whole is put together of first letters running from ra to ra. Set out one by one rather than packed into verses, the runs become plain — a long stretch on royalty at the opening, then jewels, then redness, then night and the moon — and so does what the constraint costs, since the compiler reaches for longer and longer compounds to keep finding names that will fit it. It closes on the destroyer of demons pleased by recitation, and on the red-limbed one with long red eyes.
