ശ്രീമാതങ്ഗീ സ്തുതിഃ (മാതങ്ഗ ഋഷി പ്രണീത)

Fifty-eight verses whose colophon gives them to the sage Matanga with Uma as his companion, and it shares a substantial core with the ninety-five-verse Matangi Stotram of Umasahacharya that also stands in this corpus — thirty-one of its verses match that one closely, and the rest do not. This is the shorter recension. Its opening meditation is the one both share: Matangi with her feet wet with fresh lac, a black silk flashing about her, holding vina and book, her breasts bowed, strung with pearl and coral, dark-limbed, wearing moon and conch for earrings, smiling with the brightness of her teeth, her braid falling to the ear, lotus-eyed — the parrot-dark Shyamala.
