Even on Sanskritdocuments.org, stotram says "Karali" but Namavali says "Kaali". I spent some more time checking online sources, some have Kaali and some Karali. Since the stotram is from Rudrayamala Tantra, I checked Rudrayamala at https://archive.org/details/RudrayamalaTantram_201712/page/n205/mode/2up. This version of rudrayamala doesnt have matangi astotara shatanama stotram

Krishnaji, my suggestion was not based on ancient text. Source 1: The Sri Matangi Ashtotara Shatanama Stotram that you have provided us has "Karali" https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-matangi-satanama-stotram. After I saw difference between Stotram and Namavali here on manblunder then I googled to check and found this Source2: https://stotranidhi.com/en/sri-matangi-ashtottara-shatanamavali-in-english/ which had Karali. Stotram on their site also mentions "Karali" https://stotranidhi.com/en/sri-matangi-ashtottara-shatanama-stotram-in-english/

There maybe some variations between sources. Please mention your source and I can include this as well. I just looked up on sanskritdocuments.org and this nāma seems to be accurate.

I meant the proximal phalanx. There are other methods where one starts from the distal phalanx and move towards the proximal phalanx. You may follow either of these.

Dear Sir Thank you very much for the Kind reply I have one final question in relation to Dakshina kalika mantra puja vidhi In the website manblunder.com you have mentioned PANCHAPUJA VIDHI as a part of dakshina kali mantra There is a phrase which is as follows ... 'Hold the lower tip of the bottom phalange of the little fingers of both hands with the upper tip of the thumbs, with the back of the hand facing us.' When you say bottom phalanx.. does it mean the phalanx that is immediately next to the palm? In medical terms there is proximal phalanx (immediately next to palm - beginning of the finger), middle phalanx (mid portion of finger) and distal phalanx (the phalanx with nails on it) Please let me know as I am going to follow this method of doing pancha puja with mudras. Thanks and kind regards Arun Ramabhadra

When a mantra is initiated, the initiating guru will provide all the details associated with the main mantra, which may also include the mantra specific curse removal and life giving mantras etc. In case such mantras are not known and if one faces obstacles related to the mantra fruition or even its recitation, then one may choose to recite this stotra and the associated mantras specified within. For any mantra, if the nyāsās are available, it is always best to recite them. As a rule, one must recite from the viniyoga to the samarpana sections of the initiated mantra. This is the proper procedure. In addition, one must make earnest efforts to also recite the Āvaraṇa pūja on a regular basis, if it cannot be done along with the mantra japa. Further, reciting the associated mantra kavaca and other stotras will also help in the early fruition of the mantra. The extent of the fruition may vary based on one's karma and in general, one must continue reciting the initiated mantra(s) lifelong to move further into the spiritual realms and realize the true purpose of our existence.

"dakṣiṇa kālike" is technically correct, but the popular version is "dakṣiṇe kālike". It is probably because of some disambiguation that may have occurred. Irrespective of this, the Divine Mother Kāli gives in to our devotion and never fails to address the concerns of Her sincere devotees. However, it is most important that you get the mantra from a qualified practicing guru and follow all the procedures related to Her worship, including the associated nyāsās, to obtain all desires and wishes.

Dear Sir I have a question about the kali mantra here Its I spelt as follows 'krīm̐ krīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ hūm̐ hrīm̐ hrīm̐ dakṣiṇe kālike krīm̐ krīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ hūm̐ hrīm̐ hrīm̐ svāhā ' I have heard that the 'dakshine kalike' in this mantra is sometimes spelt as 'dakshina kalike' … is this a variation or should it be spelt as 'dakshine kalike' only Please reply Thanks Arun
