Tripura Sundari Suprabatham

Tripurasundari Suprabatham
[Wishes for a good morning to the beauty of Tripura]
By Shankarananda
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

[Among the several names of the goddess Parvathy one of the most important is Tripurasundari. This means the prettiest woman of the three worlds. It is also possible that she is called Tripurasundari because she is the consort of Lord Shiva who is called Tripura because he contains within himself all the three forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.]

1. Om uthishtothishta deva devesi, uthishta Shiva Sundari,
