Aditya Hridayam, Sankatanashana Ganesha Stotram, Argala Stotram and Kilaka Stotram: exact revision/source URLs are shown in the corresponding chapter credits. Paragraph layout/whitespace were adapted. The reused material remains available under the same license; no additional restrictions are imposed.

3. Classical source texts
Ancient source works (Devi Mahatmya, Bhagavata, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Upanishads and traditional Sanskrit stotras) are distinguished from modern translations and explanatory material. Reference editions are identified in each chapter. Modern translations, websites, recordings, PDF layouts and editorial introductions are not claimed to be public domain merely because the underlying work is ancient.

4. Original Hindi retellings
Source-grounded Hindi narrative retellings and introductions prepared for Divyadindarshan are labelled as such. They are not presented as word-for-word translations or as the unique version of a regional oral tradition. Gayatri name-list facts are independently compiled with the cited AWGP publication identified; its modern explanatory prose is not reproduced.


5. Original-host traditional chanting
P. V. R. Narasimha Rao — https://www.vedicastrologer.org/mantras/
Durga Saptashati, Devi Kavach, Argala and Keelaka: source-linked recordings stream directly from the publisher's original host after a visitor selects a track. Original combined recording groups are retained. Recordings are not copied, edited, cloned, sold or relicensed by Divyadindarshan. The displayed text editions are credited separately and may differ from the recorded edition. Links to the original collection and individual recording are provided alongside the player. Access and availability depend on the source host.
