Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (shaktism)Āḍhyastotra (आढ्यस्तोत्र) refers to a “rich hymn [=stotra]”, according to Sāhib Kaul’s Śārikāstrotra.—Accordingly, “[...] Having attained the strength of true intelligence through Jñānasvāmin, I know what there is to know and everywhere contemplate my own self. I, Sāhib Kaula, have composed this hymn to the lineage deity Śārikā, which contains the construction of her Mantra. Whoever chants this rich hymn (āḍhyastotra—stotram āḍhyaṃ) of praise with perfect devotion, hears it or has it recited, even if he be without mantra, he will, O supreme Goddess, without doubt reap the great fruit of this mantra”.
