॥ śrīkamalāṣṭottaraśatanāmastotram ॥ ( श्रीकमलाष्टोत्तरशतनामस्तोत्रम् )
Prologue:- The Divine Mother Śrī Kamalā Devi is the last of the ten cosmic super powers called “Daśa Mahāvidyās,” and is none other than Śrī Lakṣmī. She is called the tantric Lakṣmī, and can also be considered a form of Kāli, the first of the ten cosmic powers. Śrī Kamalā Devi is highly regarded and venerated, for Her generosity to grant both material and spiritual wealth and prosperity.
This hymn praises Her 108 attributes, which are also documented as Śrī Kamalā Aṣṭottara Śatanāmāvali and are derived from this stotram. It is very important to study and contemplate on the attributes while reciting the stotram, in order to gain the benefits.
