The Kali-Santarana Upanishad is a primary scriptural text, a minor Upanishad outside the classical group treated by the great commentators and generally placed late. Its strength is that it is the actual textual source of the sixteen word Krishna formula it is cited for. Its limit is that its minor and late status within the Upanishadic corpus means it does not carry the same weight or attention as the principal Upanishads, and the entry is explicit about that.
