ଶ୍ରୀ ବାଲା ଖଡ୍ଗମାଲା ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A khadgamala — a garland of the sword — which is the form in which the attendant powers of a mandala are named in order, so that reciting it is a way of walking the diagram from its outside to its centre. The viniyoga gives Medha Dakshinamurti as the sage, gayatri as the metre and Bala Tripurasundari as the deity, with Aim, Klim and Sauh as seed, power and pin, and sets those three on the fingers and the six limbs before the garland begins. The names then follow the enclosures inward. The last line is the arrival: to Bala Tripurasundari, made of all bliss, salutation, salutation, salutation — with the three seeds repeated backwards at the very end, closing the circle the opening placement began.
