Tripura Sundari Ashtakam

The Tripurasundari Ashtakam is a beautiful hymn glorifying the divine beauty, compassion, and cosmic presence of Goddess Tripura Sundari. The first verse praises Her as the enchantress of the Kadamba forests, adored by sages, served by celestial maidens, and shining with lotus-like eyes and a complexion as dark as fresh rain clouds. She is the beloved of the Three-Eyed Lord and the Mother of the universe.

The second verse describes Her as residing in the Kadamba grove, holding a golden lute, adorned with precious jewels, Her face radiating the glow of divine ambrosia. Her eyes overflow with compassion and purity, revealing Her as the embodiment of grace and wisdom.

The third verse celebrates Her youthful beauty—graceful breasts, radiant cheeks, sweet voice, and charming complexion. Her compassion flows like an ocean filled with the guru’s grace.

The fourth verse portrays Her dwelling at the center of the Kadamba grove, standing upon a golden lotus, surrounded by six sacred lotuses, glowing like divine lightning, and crowned by the crescent moon.

The fifth verse worships Her curly locks, lotus-seat, captivating eyes, enchanting presence, and Her identity as Matanga Muni’s daughter with sweet speech and mystical power.

The sixth verse visualizes Her as the first blossoming force of creation, holding a honey-filled cup, with intoxicating eyes, shyama complexion, and glorious youthfulness.

The seventh verse praises Her adorned with kumkum, kasturi, flower garlands, armed with bow, arrows, noose, and goad, and the one who enchants all beings—shining like a freshly bloomed red hibiscus.

The eighth verse describes Her as the ornament of heaven, cherished by celestials, the beloved of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, adorned with divine jewelry and skilled in all arts.
