Verse 1
कल्याणवृष्टिभिरिवामृतपूरिताभि-
-र्लक्ष्मीस्वयंवरणमङ्गलदीपिकाभिः ।

kalyāṇavṛṣṭibhirivāmṛtapūritābhi-
-rlakṣmīsvayaṃvaraṇamaṅgaladīpikābhiḥ ।
sēvābhiramba tava pādasarōjamūlē
nākāri kiṃ manasi bhāgyavatāṃ janānām ॥ 1 ॥
O mother Ambā — through services that are like showers of auspiciousness, that are as if filled with the nectar of the auspicious lamp of Lakṣmī's self-choice ceremony, offered at the root of your lotus-feet — may I know a state of complete fullness.

Verse 2
एतावदेव जननि स्पृहणीयमास्ते
त्वद्वन्दनेषु सलिलस्थगिते च नेत्रे ।
सान्निध्यमुद्यदरुणायुतसोदरस्य
त्वद्विग्रहस्य परया सुधयाप्लुतस्य ॥ 2 ॥
ētāvadēva janani spṛhaṇīyamāstē
tvadvandanēṣu salilasthagitē cha nētrē ।
sānnidhyamudyadaruṇāyutasōdarasya
tvadvigrahasya parayā sudhayāplutasya ॥ 2 ॥
Only this much is to be desired, O mother — that in [acts of] bowing to you, the eyes are veiled by tears — and the proximity of one who is like a sibling to ten thousand rising suns is attained.

Verse 3
ईशत्वनामकलुषाः कति वा न सन्ति
ब्रह्मादयः प्रतिभवं प्रलयाभिभूताः ।
एकः स एव जननि स्थिरसिद्धिरास्ते
यः पादयोस्तव सकृत्प्रणतिं करोति ॥ 3 ॥
īśatvanāmakaluṣāḥ kati vā na santi
brahmādayaḥ pratibhavaṃ pralayābhibhūtāḥ ।
ēkaḥ sa ēva janani sthirasiddhirāstē
yaḥ pādayōstava sakṛtpraṇatiṃ karōti ॥ 3 ॥
O mother — how many are there who bear the name of sovereignty, like Brahmā and others, who are repeatedly overcome by dissolution? One alone, O mother, has stable attainment — and that one is he who has your grace.

Verse 4
लब्ध्वा सकृत्त्रिपुरसुन्दरि तावकीनं
कारुण्यकन्दलितकान्तिभरं कटाक्षम् ।
कन्दर्पकोटिसुभगास्त्वयि भक्तिभाजः
सम्मोहयन्ति तरुणीर्भुवनत्रयेऽपि ॥ 4 ॥
labdhvā sakṛttripurasundari tāvakīnaṃ
kāruṇyakandalitakāntibharaṃ kaṭākṣam ।
kandarpakōṭisubhagāstvayi bhaktibhājaḥ
sammōhayanti taruṇīrbhuvanatrayē'pi ॥ 4 ॥
O Tripura Sundarī — having once obtained your sidelong glance, filled with the beauty of compassion in full bloom — those who are devoted to you become beautiful as ten million Kāmas, and they are absorbed in you, no longer seeking anything else.

Verse 5
ह्रींकारमेव तव नाम गृणन्ति वेदा
मातस्त्रिकोणनिलये त्रिपुरे त्रिनेत्रे ।
त्वत्संस्मृतौ यमभटाभिभवं विहाय
दीव्यन्ति नन्दनवने सह लोकपालैः ॥ 5 ॥
hrīṃkāramēva tava nāma gṛṇanti vēdā
mātastrikōṇanilayē tripurē trinētrē ।
tvatsaṃsmṛtau yamabhaṭābhibhavaṃ vihāya
dīvyanti nandanavanē saha lōkapālaiḥ ॥ 5 ॥
O mother — dwelling in the triangle, O Tripura, O three-eyed one — the Vedas declare Hrīṃ alone to be your name. In [moments of] remembering you, the messengers of Yama who have come to seize [a devotee] turn away — astonished, vanquished.
॥ ६ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 6
हन्तुः पुरामधिगलं परिपीयमानः
क्रूरः कथं न भविता गरलस्य वेगः ।
नाश्वासनाय यदि मातरिदं तवार्थं
देहस्य शश्वदमृताप्लुतशीतलस्य ॥ 6 ॥
hantuḥ purāmadhigalaṃ paripīyamānaḥ
krūraḥ kathaṃ na bhavitā garalasya vēgaḥ ।
nāśvāsanāya yadi mātaridaṃ tavārthaṃ
dēhasya śaśvadamṛtāplutaśītalasya ॥ 6 ॥
How could the poison's power not be fierce and cruel — being drunk down across the throat of the destroyer of the three cities [Śiva]? Unless, O mother, it was for the purpose of reassuring [the world] — 'This is meant to symbolize the protection offered by your [grace].'
॥ ७ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 7
सर्वज्ञतां सदसि वाक्पटुतां प्रसूते
देवि त्वदङ्घ्रिसरसीरुहयोः प्रणामः ।
किं च स्फुरन्मकुटमुज्ज्वलमातपत्रं
द्वे चामरे च महतीं वसुधां ददाति ॥ 7 ॥
sarvajñatāṃ sadasi vākpaṭutāṃ prasūtē
dēvi tvadaṅghrisarasīruhayōḥ praṇāmaḥ ।
kiṃ cha sphuranmakuṭamujjvalamātapatraṃ
dvē chāmarē cha mahatīṃ vasudhāṃ dadāti ॥ 7 ॥
O Goddess — prostration at your lotus-feet produces omniscience and eloquence in the assembly. Moreover — a shining crown above, and an upward-pointing royal parasol, are [also obtained] by the devoted worshipper.
॥ ८ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 8
कल्पद्रुमैरभिमतप्रतिपादनेषु
कारुण्यवारिधिभिरम्ब भवात्कटाक्षैः ।
आलोकय त्रिपुरसुन्दरि मामनाथं
त्वय्येव भक्तिभरितं त्वयि बद्धतृष्णम् ॥ 8 ॥
kalpadrumairabhimatapratipādanēṣu
kāruṇyavāridhibhiramba bhavātkaṭākṣaiḥ ।
ālōkaya tripurasundari māmanāthaṃ
tvayyēva bhaktibharitaṃ tvayi baddhatṛṣṇam ॥ 8 ॥
O Tripura Sundarī — you are an ocean of compassion (kāruṇya-vāridhi), like the wish-fulfilling trees (kalpa-drumas) in satisfying all desired things. Look upon me, the unprotected one, with those eyes that are like blooming, shining wish-fulfilling blossoms.
॥ ९ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 9
हन्तेतरेष्वपि मनांसि निधाय चान्ये
भक्तिं वहन्ति किल पामरदैवतेषु ।
त्वामेव देवि मनसा समनुस्मरामि
त्वामेव नौमि शरणं जननि त्वमेव ॥ 9 ॥
hantētarēṣvapi manāṃsi nidhāya chānyē
bhaktiṃ vahanti kila pāmaradaivatēṣu ।
tvāmēva dēvi manasā samanusmarāmi
tvāmēva naumi śaraṇaṃ janani tvamēva ॥ 9 ॥
Alas — others too place their minds elsewhere and yet carry devotion to wretched deities. We, however, remember only you, O Goddess — and we are not deviated by anyone. Yet — when will you turn your face to us?
॥ १० ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 10
लक्ष्येषु सत्स्वपि कटाक्षनिरीक्षणाना-
-मालोकय त्रिपुरसुन्दरि मां कदाचित् ।
नूनं मया तु सदृशः करुणैकपात्रं
जातो जनिष्यति जनो न च जायते वा ॥ 10 ॥
lakṣyēṣu satsvapi kaṭākṣanirīkṣaṇānā-
-mālōkaya tripurasundari māṃ kadāchit ।
nūnaṃ mayā tu sadṛśaḥ karuṇaikapātraṃ
jātō janiṣyati janō na cha jāyatē vā ॥ 10 ॥
O Tripura Sundarī — even though there are other worthy targets for your sidelong glance — do look upon me at some point. Certainly there is no one like me who is more negligent — and therefore it is all the more [urgent for you to look upon me].
॥ ११ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 11
ह्रीं ह्रीमिति प्रतिदिनं जपतां तवाख्यां
किं नाम दुर्लभमिह त्रिपुराधिवासे ।
मालाकिरीटमदवारणमाननीया
तान्सेवते वसुमती स्वयमेव लक्ष्मीः ॥ 11 ॥
hrīṃ hrīmiti pratidinaṃ japatāṃ tavākhyāṃ
kiṃ nāma durlabhamiha tripurādhivāsē ।
mālākirīṭamadavāraṇamānanīyā
tānsēvatē vasumatī svayamēva lakṣmīḥ ॥ 11 ॥
O Tripurā, dweller of Tripura — for those who daily chant your name 'Hrīṃ Hrīṃ' — what is there in this world that is unattainable? Garlands, crowns, intoxicated elephants, honor — all are obtained.
॥ १२ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 12
सम्पत्कराणि सकलेन्द्रियनन्दनानि
साम्राज्यदाननिरतानि सरोरुहाक्षि ।
त्वद्वन्दनानि दुरिताहरणोद्यतानि
मामेव मातरनिशं कलयन्तु नान्यम् ॥ 12 ॥
sampatkarāṇi sakalēndriyanandanāni
sāmrājyadānaniratāni sarōruhākṣi ।
tvadvandanāni duritāharaṇōdyatāni
māmēva mātaraniśaṃ kalayantu nānyam ॥ 12 ॥
O lotus-eyed one — the acts of bowing to you make all the senses rejoice, bring prosperity, are devoted to granting sovereignty, and are capable — readily — of destroying what is sinful. Such are the services at your lotus-feet.
॥ १३ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 13
कल्पोपसंहृतिषु कल्पितताण्डवस्य
देवस्य खण्डपरशोः परभैरवस्य ।
पाशाङ्कुशैक्षवशरासनपुष्पबाणा
सा साक्षिणी विजयते तव मूर्तिरेका ॥ 13 ॥
kalpōpasaṃhṛtiṣu kalpitatāṇḍavasya
dēvasya khaṇḍaparaśōḥ parabhairavasya ।
pāśāṅkuśaikṣavaśarāsanapuṣpabāṇā
sā sākṣiṇī vijayatē tava mūrtirēkā ॥ 13 ॥
At the dissolution of aeons, she who is the consort of the one who has begun the tāṇḍava dance — the one wielding the partial axe (Śiva) — the supreme Bhairavī — she who holds the noose, the goad, the sugar-cane bow, and the flower-arrow — that Pārvatī ever dwells in my heart.
॥ १४ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 14
लग्नं सदा भवतु मातरिदं तवार्धं
तेजः परं बहुलकुङ्कुमपङ्कशोणम् ।
भास्वत्किरीटममृतांशुकलावतंसं
मध्ये त्रिकोणनिलयं परमामृतार्द्रम् ॥ 14 ॥
lagnaṃ sadā bhavatu mātaridaṃ tavārdhaṃ
tējaḥ paraṃ bahulakuṅkumapaṅkaśōṇam ।
bhāsvatkirīṭamamṛtāṃśukalāvataṃsaṃ
madhyē trikōṇanilayaṃ paramāmṛtārdram ॥ 14 ॥
May this — your half, O mother — always remain attached to [my mind]. That supreme radiance, red as abundant vermilion paste — bearing the blazing crown — adorned with the moon-crescent — the dwelling-place of supreme nectar.
॥ १५ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 15
ह्रींकारमेव तव नाम तदेव रूपं
त्वन्नाम दुर्लभमिह त्रिपुरे गृणन्ति ।
त्वत्तेजसा परिणतं वियदादिभूतं
सौख्यं तनोति सरसीरुहसम्भवादेः ॥ 15 ॥
hrīṃkāramēva tava nāma tadēva rūpaṃ
tvannāma durlabhamiha tripurē gṛṇanti ।
tvattējasā pariṇataṃ viyadādibhūtaṃ
saukhyaṃ tanōti sarasīruhasambhavādēḥ ॥ 15 ॥
O Tripurā — Hrīṃ alone is your name; that alone is your form. In this [world], those who cannot [find any other way] chant your unattainable name as Tripura. Through your radiance, the universe beginning from the sky has evolved — and so it is chanted as your name.
॥ १६ ॥♪ CHANTING NOW
Verse 16
ह्रींकारत्रयसम्पुटेन महता मन्त्रेण सन्दीपितं
स्तोत्रं यः प्रतिवासरं तव पुरो मातर्जपेन्मन्त्रवित् ।
तस्य क्षोणिभुजो भवन्ति वशगा लक्ष्मीश्चिरस्थायिनी
वाणी निर्मलसूक्तिभारभारिता जागर्ति दीर्घं वयः ॥ 16 ॥
hrīṃkāratrayasampuṭēna mahatā mantrēṇa sandīpitaṃ
stōtraṃ yaḥ prativāsaraṃ tava purō mātarjapēnmantravit ।
tasya kṣōṇibhujō bhavanti vaśagā lakṣmīśchirasthāyinī
vāṇī nirmalasūktibhārabhāritā jāgarti dīrghaṃ vayaḥ ॥ 16 ॥
This hymn — ignited by the great mantra of three Hrīṃkāras combined — whoever recites it daily before you, O mother, with the knowledge of mantra — he becomes one whose speech is Sarasvatī herself — and reaches the state of the most fortunate. This is the phalaśruti of the Kalyāṇa Vṛṣṭi Stavam.
ॐ
