ଶ୍ରୀ ତ୍ରିପୁରସୁନ୍ଦରୀ ଵେଦପାଦ ସ୍ତଵଃ

A hundred and eleven verses in which the fourth quarter of every verse is a line quoted from the Veda, and the first three are written to arrive at it. The play begins immediately: the opening verse ends on the Gayatri's own last words with one syllable changed, so that it is the tusked one who impels our thought, and the verse after it hands the same line to the six-faced one. Later the borrowed quarters do heavier work — one verse ends by asking her to strike down the haters of brahman with these arrows, another by asking her to settle prosperity in his family. The last verse leaves the device behind: wherever my mind goes, there is your form; wherever my head is, there are your two feet.
