Sri Kamalaambike

Mangala Kriti

Ragam: Shri
Thalam: Khada Eka

This is the concluding piece in the entire Kamalamba Nava Avarana kriti series. In this kriti, Dikshitar says, Shri Kamalambika, the spouse of Shiva, oh Lalita, please protect me. You are worshiped by Vishnu and You are always with Shiva.

Your face is like the full moon, You protected Kolamukhi-Varahi. You are the companion of Lakshmi and Sarasvati. You enjoy the Rajayoga, oh Shakambari, the mother of nature, of slender waist, oh wearer of the crescent moon. Oh benevolent one, You are fascinated by the devotees of Shiva and Guruguha. You are the single syllable Om, oh empress of the world, one who enchants Lord Shiva. You are the bestower of prosperity and happiness. You are Shri Maha Tripurasundari.
