Parashurama Kalpasutra

The Parashurama Kalpasutra^[1] (Sanskrit: परशुरामकल्पसूत्रम्, romanized: Paraśurāmakalpasūtram) is a Shakta Agama, a Hindu text on Shri Vidya practices ascribed to the Kaula tradition. The authorship of the text is traditionally attributed to Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu and a disciple of Dattatreya.^[2] It is a sacred text for the Shri Vidya worshippers of the goddess Lalita, who is considered to be a manifestation of the goddess Adi Parashakti. The text is also used in the worship of Ganesha, Bala Tripurasundari, Matangi, and Varahi. This text has its origins in the Dattatreya Samhita and was compiled by Sumedha, a disciple of Dattatreya.
