ଶ୍ରୀ ଜ୍ଞାନପ୍ରସୂନାମ୍ବିକା ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

Ten verses to the goddess of Srikalahasti, each closing on the line that names her seat: I meditate in my mind on Jnanaprasunambika who dwells at Kalahasti. Each verse is also built on a single sound, so that the first runs almost wholly on ma — rubies, the ringing of gems, sapphire brightness, a mandara garland, the temples of a rutting elephant, the praise of the silent sages, a swan's gait, the gladness of honey-wine — and those after it take up ra, ka, bha and va in turn. She is Kameshvari and Bhavani, dark-limbed and lotus-eyed, a parrot on her hand, delighting in the vina, giver of learning to those who bow. The tenth verse repeats, with only its last quarter altered, a verse that stands also in the Mukambika stotra.
