Caṇḍikāśataka

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Title: Caṇḍikāśataka (or Caṇḍīśataka)

The text being a century of preyers addressed to Pārvatī, eulogises her particularly for having delivered the world from the presence of the demon Mahiṣa.

Round the text of stanzas 1-84 marginal glosses have been added, reading, in the Jaina fashion, from the top along the right margin, and thence to the left margine and the bottom.

The work has been printed in the Kāvyamāla, iv.1.
