ଶ୍ରୀ ତ୍ରିପୁରସୁନ୍ଦରୀ ମାନସପୂଜା ସ୍ତୋତ୍ରମ୍

A hundred and twenty-eight verses of worship performed entirely in the mind, given in the colophon to Shankara. It opens by admitting it has nothing: no power to worship, no devotion at her feet, no detachment from things, no hold on meditation — and gathers, instead, an offering of well-made words. Then it walks the whole ground. The golden rampart is saluted in its own verse before she is reached; the ornaments are given one by one, down to the crest-jewel set in hair that makes the coiled braid look like a serpent's head; the enclosing deities are named in order, Adharashakti and the rest with the four Nathas beginning with Mitreshanatha; and near the end a kinnari sings and Rambha dances while the women of heaven abandon their work to look at her.
