Hello I did not find these mantras in the text of the samhita itself. For example there are no Mahakali mantras. Also in the samhita there is a different list of types of Kali. http://www.aghori.it/Mahakala%20Samhita.pdf

Sir, can we only recite these Sri Dakshina Kali Shoda Nyasa (all parts) as a standalone procedure?

This is a śābar mantra written in Hindi. It is NOT a Sanskrit mantra. You can find the literal translation via google translate. It is best to find a guru who deals with these type of mantras and receive an initiation from the same person. These type of mantras may be fast acting, but seem to be effective only when received from a practicing guru. I personally have not found success with these type of mantras, when I tried them without any initiation several years ago. The path of mantra japa may be hard to begin with, but eventually you will find success if you can be persistent and thorough with the practice.

Hello, I need your help in the correct transliteration of this mantra — काली काली महा-काली, इन्द्र की बेटी, ब्रह्मा की साली। पीती भर भर रक्त प्याली, उड़ बैठी पीपल की डाली। दोनों हाथ बजाए ताली। जहाँ जाए वज्र की ताली, वहाँ ना आए दुश्मन हाली। दुहाई कामरो कामाख्या नैना योगिनी की, ईश्वर महादेव गोरा पार्वती की, दुहाई वीर मसान की।। In IAST, this mantra looks like this — kālī kālī mahā-kālī, indra kī beṭī, brahmā kī sālī। pītī bhara bhara rakta pyālī, uḍa़ baiṭhī pīpala kī ḍālī। donoṃ hātha bajāe tālī। jahām̐ jāe vajra kī tālī, vahām̐ nā āe duśmana hālī। duhāī kāmaro kāmākhyā nainā yoginī kī, īśvara mahādeva gorā pārvatī kī, duhāī vīra masāna kī।। In the second line of the word - भर भर रक, should be read as (bhara bhara rakta) or without ,, a,, (bhar bhar rakt)? The word उड़ should be read as (uḍa ़) or (uḍ). If - uḍa ़ then what does the small circle after the letter ,, a ,, mean and how to read it correctly? Next in order, the words - (pīpala) must have the letter ,, a ,, at the end or not? Should the word - (donoṃ) have the letter ,, ṃ ,, at the end? Similarly, the word - (hātha) should it have the letter ,, a ,, at the end? Similarly, the word - (duśmana) does it have the letter ,, a ,, at the end? And the last words - (īśvara mahādeva and vīra masāna) do they need the letters ,, a ,, at the end if not they will look like this - (īśvar mahādev and vīr masān). Thank you in advance to me very important accuracy of the mantra as it is Shabar Mantra. The ritual for her is very simple - read 108 times a day for 40 days after that the mantra becomes very powerful during these 40 days it is recommended to keep celibacy, then when you need protection - clap your hands 3 times.

Ekādaśi is considered an auspicious day for offering prayers and performing rituals to the deities. We cannot time our death in normal circumstances and hence there is no good or bad time for passing away. It is karmic. Certain beliefs do exist on the timings of passing away of great souls. There are no particular scriptural references that I am aware of to this effect. Our deepest condolences to you and your family. We pray for the ascension of his ātma.

My apologies. You are correct in deciphering the meaning of the word 'mahyaṃ'. I have made the necessary corrections. Thank you very much for your valuable input!
