Note: Although transcribed from the audio linked, this stotra has many shloka-s in common (or with some modification of the original text - both in words, and even grammar e.g. danture vs danturAM pt maNDite vs maNDItAm) and compiled from several places from these (and perhaps some other) texts such as ## kaulAvalInirNaya, bR^ihannIlatantram, tantrachintAmaNi ## and a compilation . See links below to some references.
