ஶ்ரீ மஹாத்ரிபுரஸுந்தரீ ஹ்ரு'தயம்

Sixty-one verses that build the place before they describe the Goddess in it. After the viniyoga, which names Anandabhairava as seer and gives aim, sauh and klim for seed, power and pin, the hymn opens on Ganesha — vermilion-coloured, his beloved on his left thigh, in the middle of the ocean of sugarcane — and then on the ocean of nectar itself, whose deep waves rinse the horizons. From there it walks inward: the four-doored square with its three lines and its three circles, and only then the Goddess, taken limb by limb from the crown down, her throat dark as musk-paste and the heavy braid hanging past her left shoulder. Its closing verses call the whole a jewel of meditation, to be read morning and evening without sloth.
