Devīpañcaśataka (देवीपञ्चशतक) is an important source of the Kālīkrama that developed in Kashmir after the Kālī Mata of the Jayadrathayāmala. Jayaratha quotes it extensively in his commentary on Abhinava’s exposition of the cycle of Twelve Kālīs. [...] A typical colophon of the Devipañcaśataka, a Kashmiri Kālīkrama text, says that it is part of the ‘venerable Kālikākula brought down to earth by the venerable Śrīnātha and has come forth from the venerable Northern Seat’.
