śrīrājarājeśvarīstavaḥ (tyāgarāja racita)

Sixteen verses that all take one shape — she who is such and such, her I salute — so that each is a single long relative clause resolved only in its last line. She is the housewife of the three worlds who satisfies everything with a stream of nectar; she who lies beyond earth and the senses and the thinking mind, made of pure awareness and everlasting; the queen saluted by Brahma, Indra and Achyuta, giver of discernment to the good. The closing line of the first verse puts her where the rest of them keep her, in the triangle within the heart. The colophon names the author as an Andhra called Tyagaraja, of the Kashyapa lineage, living at the lotus feet of one Anandanatha — an initiation name rather than a personal one.
