Eighteen verses whose refrain names Rajarajeshvari as devoted to the tarpana of the point at the heart of the Shrichakra. It is a recension of the text that stands in this corpus as the Rajarajeshvari Mantra Matrika Stava — fourteen of its verses match that one almost word for word, and the de-duplication could not see it because the two decline their nouns differently throughout, one nominative and one accusative. This is the fuller copy and the later-looking one: the fifteen-syllable mantra that runs cleanly down the opening letters of the other is disturbed here at both ends, a verse having been set in front of it and two added after. That opening verse earns its place. It makes her body out of the branches of learning — metre her feet, phonetics her shanks, the Rigveda her thighs, the Saman her belly, and the nectar of Vedanta her eyes.
