These are proclaimed as the Hundred (and Eight) Names of Kalika, beginning with the letter Ka. They are all identical with the image of Kali. One who in worship recites these names with the mind fixed on Kalika, for that one Mantra-siddhi is quickly obtained, and with that one Kali is pleased. By the mere bidding of the Guru one acquires intelligence, knowledge, and becomes wealthy, famous, munificent, and compassionate. Such a one enjoys life happily in this world with children and grandchildren, with wealth and dominion. One who, on a new moon night, when it falls on Tuesday, worships the great Adya Kali, Mistress of the three worlds, with the five Ma-karas, and repeats Her hundred names, becomes suffused with the presence of the Devi, and for that one there remains nothing in the three worlds which is beyond ones powers.
