શ્રી મૂકામ્બિકા સ્તોત્રમ્

Twelve dense verses in shardulavikridita, each ending on the same words: I meditate on Mukambika. The first places her in the middle triangle of the root lotus and on the Kollur hill at once, glowing bandhuka-red, her dark hair fragrant with cardamom; later verses call her Bala, Tripura and Kameshvari, and four of them add that she is together with Shiva, which sets the whole within the Shrividya. The attributes shift freely between meditations — conch and discus with boon and safety in one verse, trident, noose, skull and book in the next, a golden lotus in the last — and she is by turns bright as a thousand crore noon suns, twilight-red, and cloud-dark. She is named the giver of many kinds of poetry, and the final verse bows to Mukamba as the supreme deity herself.
