Khadgamala


The Khadgamala is an invocational mantra that names each of the Devi Hindu goddesses according to their place in the Sri Yantra or in the Maha Meru. This list of divine names is described poetically as a "garland". The sword is an epithet for the Devi's "power to strike down desire, hatred, and delusion".
This recitation of mantra is a spiritual practice of Hindu tantra.
