TRipura Sundari Vijaya Sthava

Tripurasundari vijaya sthava
(Ode of victory to Tripurasundari)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(“The goddess Tripura Sundari in her aspect as Shodasi is represented as a sixteen-year-old girl, and is believed to embody sixteen types of desire. The Shodasi Tantra, a treatise on the Tantra, describes Tripura Sundari as "the radiant light in the eyes of Shiva". Adishankara has written a great ashtakam extolling her. This is another great prayer addressed to her.”)

Kalpondhitha chanda bhanu vilasddeha prabha manditha,
Kalambodha samana kunthala bhara karunya vara nidhi,
Kadhyarnangitha manthra raja vilasadkoodathryopasitha,
Srichakradhi nivasini, vijayathe Srirajarajeswari. 1

Victory to Rajarajeswari, who lives in the middle of Sri Chakra,
Whose body shines like the Sun at the time of final deluge,
Whose hair is heavy and black like the thick blue cloud,
Who is an ocean of mercy and who is meditated by the “ka” chants.

Ethath praabhavashalineethi nigamairadhyapyanalokitha,

Victory to Rajarajeswari who lives in the middle of Sri Chakra,

Eeshath phulla kdamba kudmala maha lavanya garvapaha,
Snigdha swacha sudhantha kanthivilasan mandasmithalankrutha,

Lakshya lakshya vilagna desa vilasadromavalee vallaree,

Elephant’s trunk and which are as soft as the golden banana pseudo stem.
