The Khadgamala (, , "Garland of the Sword") 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 (Sanskrit: khaá¸Âga) is an epithet for the Devi's "power to strike down desire, hatred, and delusion".
