The celebrated Kaula Stotra "Lord of Hymns", whichis here translated from
Sanskrit for the first time, is attributed toMahakala Himself. One of the chief
features of the Stotra is that it gives themantroddhara of the Shri Shri
Dakshina Kalika. It is not only gives the Dhyana,Yantra, Sadhana and Svarupa-
varnana of the Mahadevi, but it also contains thechief mantras of Dakshina-
Kalika. The book has extensive notes and explanation in respectof the hymn's
gross meaning, followed by the invaluable commentary of VimlanandaSwami which
provides the subtle or esoteric meaning of the text.
