ଦେଵୀ ଚତୁଃଷଷ୍ଟ୍ଯୁପଚାରପୂଜା ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

The sixty-four services of the worship set out at length and given in the colophon to Shankara, seventy-three verses in all — where the Lalita text of the same sixty-four in this corpus compresses them into twenty-odd. It begins before the worship does, with the waking: at dawn, to the auspicious songs of the Magadha bards, wake, wake, wake, and make this world happy with glances wet with pity. The offerings are then given one at a time and in full detail. The betel alone takes a verse, with camphor and clove, takkola powder, sweet areca, white catechu and smooth nutmeg wrapped in betel leaves pale as a ketaka petal. A prayer for pardon closes it.
