ଶ୍ରୀ ତ୍ରିପୁରାତିଲକ ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

Sixteen verses of description from the crown downward, set in a pavilion on the golden mountain where bees stagger among the flowers of the wish-trees. The detail is worked closely: her face reflected in the two jewelled mirrors of her cheeks, a nose like the pericarp seen inside a golden lotus petal, a girdle of gold set continuously with diamonds over fine silk. One epithet is a riddle in three steps, calling her the sister of the friend of the enemy of Karna — which is to say Krishna's sister, arrived at by way of Arjuna. The closing verse promises the reciter wealth and the world's regard first, and then, at the falling away of the body, the imperishable place.
