শ্ৰীশূলিনীদুৰ্গাসুমুখীকৰণস্তোত্ৰম্

Forty-seven verses to Shulini Durga from the Akashabhairava Kalpa, set as a dialogue between Uma and Maheshvara, and forty-six of them close on the same request: give me lordship, long life, health, and the accomplishment of what I desire. The mantra is hidden in the verses rather than stated. Thirteen of them, taken in order, spell it out in their opening syllables — jvala jvala shulini, and then the closing seed-sounds — and the poet has chosen his words so that it comes out, the seventeenth verse beginning on a swan, the eighteenth on the hum-sound and the nineteenth on the phat. Before the verses stand the viniyoga, a meditation on her seated and smiling in auspicious dress, and a mental worship offered through the five element-seeds.
