śrī bālā tripurasundarī sahasranāmāvalī (1)

The thousand names of Bala Tripurasundari set out for offering, one name to a line with its salutation, opening with the three seeds Aim Hrim Shrim that stand at the head of her worship. The litany runs in alphabetical runs rather than by theme, which is the usual arrangement of a namavali and makes it possible to keep the place: the first run is on su — the fortunate one, the beautiful one, the gentle one, the sushumna, the giver of happiness — and then moves to the pleasing, the good-minded, the delightful, the splendid. Used as a namavali is used, with a flower or a grain of rice at each name, it is an hour's worship rather than a reading, and it is the practical companion to the verse sahasranama.
