శ్రీ బాలా అష్టోత్తరశతనామ స్తోత్రమ్

The hundred and eight names of Bala Tripurasundari in verse, from the Rudrayamala's conversation between Uma and Maheshvara. The apparatus before the names is unusually full and is part of the text: the viniyoga gives Dakshinamurti as the sage, anushtubh as the metre, Bala as the deity, and the three seed syllables Aim, Sauh and Klim as seed, power and pin. A placement on the fingers and the six limbs follows, each with one of the three syllables in turn, so that the reciter has the mantra in his hands before he begins the names. The names themselves are the ones the whole Bala tradition shares, turning on the number three and on her youth, and the closing verse states that reading, repeating and meditating on them alike make every good thing.
