ஶ்ரீத்ரிபுரஸுந்தரீஸாந்நித்யஸ்தவஃ

A stava on the nearness of the Goddess, and one of six here whose verses spell the sixteen syllables of the Shodashi mantra down their opening letters. It is written as a vision arriving: in the first verse a radiance like the sun at the end of an age comes into view while the speaker stands wondering what it can be, her hair outdoing a bank of blue cloud, and the refrain says only that he looks upon Tripureshvari, who dwells in the Chakraraja. Halfway through, the verb changes — he stops beholding and takes refuge — and the later verses add the words in my presence, so that the seeing becomes a staying. She is surrounded by the one-tusked and the six-faced, and the last verse calls her the fifteen syllables and the sixteen at once.
