Om Jayanti Maṅgalā Kālī is a mantra that may be chanted as part of a yoga practice and also is used in celebration of some Hindu religious festivals. It is from the the Markandeya Purana's 700 Verses and is the first verse of its "Hymn to Goddess to Remove Impediments".
For mantras, the Hindu religious tradition provides the words and syllables to be chanted and also a recommended intonation pattern. The intonation has been passed down by oral tradition from swami to swami, and in some cases it may also have been recorded in the ancient literature.
This mantra uses a central tone, a lower tone about one musical step down (shown in bold), and a higher tone about a half step up (show in capitals).
The text of the mantra is:
Om Jayanti Maṅgalā Kālī Bhadrakālī Kapālinī Durgā Kṣamā Śivā Dhātrī Svāhā Svadhā namo’stu te.
