Iti Shree Kalki Ashtottara Shatanaamaavali
Meaning
The Sri Kalki Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a kakaradi namavali: every one of its names begins with the syllable ka, from Kalkine and Kalimarakaya at the start to Kalyanasindhave, Kalyanadayine and Kalyanamangalaya at the close. The sanskritdocuments.org edition credits it to Pandita Bellamkonda Ramaraya Kavindra and takes it from his Dashavatara Ashtottarashatanamavali with commentary. Om Kalkine Namah is printed twice at the head of the list there as well as here.
The one who ends Kali
The opening names state the purpose of the tenth avatar. Kalimarakaya and Kalijite mean the slayer and conqueror of Kali, Kalmashaghnaya the remover of impurity, and Kalinishakalyanamne calls his very name the dawn after the night of Kali. Kamalachittachoraya, stealer of Lakshmi's heart, adds a gentler note.
The white horse
A long middle run of compound names describes a white horse form in close detail. Kalitashvakritaye says he has taken a horse's shape; other names speak of a neigh that terrifies every human, hooves that grind mountains to dust like thunderbolts, teeth white as pieces of camphor and two wings that shine as conch and discus.
Karma and Brahman
Eight names in a row carry the compound karmabrahma, presenting Kalki as the source of Vedic ritual and of the knowledge of Brahman, and as the one who crushes those hostile to both. Karmakarmavikarmasthaya echoes the Bhagavad Gita's karma, akarma and vikarma. The poet also uses ka in its sense of Brahma, as in Karudramadhavamayaya, made of Brahma, Rudra and Madhava.
The list has no phala shruti. It is read as archana on Kalki Jayanti, the Shashthi of the bright half of Shravana, and in worship of the ten avatars.
