ତାରାସହସ୍ରନାମସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A thousand names of Tara from the eighteenth chapter of the Brihannila Tantra, running to two hundred and ten verses in a dialogue of Bhairava and Bhairavi — the same tantra whose twenty-second and twenty-third chapters supply the thousand and the hundred names of Kali in this corpus. One verse in the middle shows what a list of this length can do that a hymn cannot: it names her four-armed, ten-armed, eighteen-armed, two-armed and six-armed in the space of two lines, so that no one iconography is allowed to stand as hers. The same thousand also stands here in salutation form, where the viniyoga names her as Ugratara, Ekajata and Nilasarasvati together.
