Kālikākrama is
also known as Bhānavikrama - the sequence of Sun. In this tradition,
twelve forms of Goddess Kalasankarshini Kali are venerated, which
correspond with the principle of the manifestation of the universe in
the solar circle. So Twelve kāli are the forms of twelve Sun.
In the tantric tradition of Kāli-krama, the practice of worshiping the Goddess Kali is mainly meditative. And she is meditated as (internal) Sun or a flame Burning inside the Heart.
Bharga [भर्ग ] is name of Śiva. Another meaning of Bharga is Sun. Shiva is called Bharga because he is the direct deity of Sun-God.
Maitrayani-Upanishad defines the word ‘Bharga’ as under—
भाभिर्गतिरस्य हीति भर्गः। भर्जयतीति वैष भर्ग इति रुद्रो ब्रह्मवादिनः।
अथ भ इति भासयतीमांल्लोकान्, र इति रञ्जयतीमानि भूतानि, ग इति गच्छन्त्यस्यिन्नागच्छन्त्यस्मादिमाः प्रजाः, तस्माद् भरगत्वाद् भर्गः॥
One who is reaching everywhere through his light, that is called Bharga. Or Bharga is one who parches the sensual objects. ‘Bha’ means the thing which illuminates all the planets, ‘Ra’ means one who entertains all the elements, ‘Ga’ means the source and ultimate destination of everything; and Shruti gives it a combined name as Bharga.
शिखा [ śikhā ] means "a pointed flame". Here, Śakti is the fire / Light of the sun ( Śiva).
Śiva is inseparable from Śakti as Heat/light from Sun.
Śikhā also means "tuft or lock of hair on the crown of the head" esoterically it is Śakti, that residing on the crown head of Śiva.
She is the light of Sahsrara-chakra.
Here Śakti symbolize the "Parātparā" the Higher than the highest. She is the transcendental Void (śunyatiśunya).
Another meaning of Śikha is "crest".
Kālī is the Crest of supreme radiance.
Where the twelve Sun in the form of the sense organs rise and set are destroyed within her.
Bhagwān Abhinava prays in Kramastotra to Goddess Paramarka-Kālī (as Bhargaśikha) :
I bow to the infinite Paramarka-Kali, which in its pacified flame contains 12 suns, completely dissolved. It is in Her that the ego (ahamkara) successfully dissolves its own light and pacifies, just as a flame is pacified in a quenching fire.
अस्तोदितद्वादशभानुभाजि यस्यां गता भर्गशिखा शिखेव।
प्रशान्तधाम्नि द्युतिनाशमेति तां नौम्यनन्तां परमार्ककालीम्॥९॥ (Kramastotra )
