ବ୍ରହ୍ମଣା କୃତଂ ଦେଵୀସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

Twenty-three verses from the thirty-ninth chapter of the later part of the Brahmanda Purana, spoken by Brahma, and the verse numbering shows they have been lifted out of the middle of a longer chapter rather than composed as a separate hymn. What they praise her as, from the first line, is Tripurasundari: victory to you, goddess, mother of the world; victory, Tripurasundari; victory, born with the lord of Shri; victory, all-auspicious. The middle verses argue from the world's weight rather than from her beauty — the thousand-headed king of serpents holds up the earth that bears every creature, and holds it by her command alone; to that goddess, salutation and salutation again.
