Saṃgrāmakāla (संग्रामकाल) refers to the “time of battle”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 6.32cd-36ab]—“[...] [The Mantrin] should place [the mantra] in the middle of honey, together with completely white offerings. After acting this way for seven days, he becomes Mṛtyujit. [The Mantrin] explains to kings how best to protect kings. [Protection] removes the enemy’s arrogance and grants favors at the time of battle (saṃgrāmakāla)”.
