Sri Kamalaambike Avaava
Eighth Avarana Kriti
Ragam: Ghanta
Thalam: Aadi
In this kriti, Dikshitar glorifies the eighth avarana of the Sri Chakra. The eighth avarana is called the Trikonam which is a singular triangle. 3 shaktis preside over this chakra.
- Mahakameshwari She who is the wife of Kameshwara (Shiva)
- Mahavajreshwari She who is as strong as a diamond
- Mahabhagamalini She who wears a garland of prosperity
The Chakra is called Sarvasiddhiprada chakra, ‘grants all perfection’.
May goddess Kamalambika, spouse of Shiva, She who holds a parrot in Her hand, protect me.
She is the protector of the world, adorning the Kapala skull and the Shula trident. Mother of the universe and also known as Bhagamalini, may She bestow Her glance on me, and confer all accomplishments on me. She is Tripurambika, the Balambika.
Her body is like burnished gold and is the eternal stream of undifferentiated unique bliss. She is the remover of sufferings and resides in the Trikona triangle, which obliterates the three kinds of miseries. She is in the company of Kameshvari and a host of Shaktis. In the wide doorway of Her abode, wherein the jeweled bell constantly announces salvation, She is understood by Guruguha, who is eternal. From Her ten fingernails, She created the ten incarnations of Vishnu. She is the supremely secret Yogini, who holds in Her four hands the sugar cane bow symbolizing the mind, five arrows symbolizing the five senses, the noose symbolizing attachment, and the goad symbolizing wrath.
