Karpuradi-Stotra. E-book. Formato EPUB Sir John Woodroffe - Pubme, 2015 -
THIS celebrated Kaula Stotra, which is now translated from the Sanskrit for the first time, is attributed to Mahakala Himself.One of the chief features of this Stotra is that it gives the mantroddhara of the Dakshina-Kalika. It not only gives us the Dhyana, Yantra, Sadhana and Svarupa-varnana of the Mahadevi, but it also contains the chief Mantras of Dak?i?akalika. The adjective "Tava manu-samuddhara?ajanu" qualifying "idam stotram" in Sloka 21 expressly states this fact.Among the various Mantras of Dak?i?a Kalika the greatest is the "Vidya-rajñi" consisting of 22 syllables (Dvavi?sak?ari). This mantra gives the fullest and the truest symbol of the Svarupa of Her. This mantra is contained in the first five Slokas.
