Sri Kamalamba Jayathi

Ninth Avarana Kriti

Ragam: Ahiri
Thalam: Aadi

In this kriti, Dikshitar glorifies the Bindu which is the central point of the Sri Chakra. Sri Maha TripuraSundari presides over the Bindu

Dikshitar sings, Hail to the mother of the world, Shri Kamalamba. You are the personification of Shringara Rasa. Oh my mother, You are the reflection of the entity of consciousness Cidbimba, residing at the orb of the moon that shows the reflection of the original orb, void of consciousness.

She resides in Bindu Chakra, which is the center of Shripura, inside the temple, which is made of the wish-fulfilling gem “Chintamani”. She is in the embrace of Shiva on the couch of the form of Shiva. I meditate on Mahatripurasundari, who is propitiated by the goddess with the boar's face, Varahi, and others. She is the suzerain empress - Rajeshwareem". She is the auspicious one who dwells in the circle replete with bliss. She is Suvasini. I am protected by Her. She makes the sun, the moon and the fire manifest themselves. She is skillful in removing terrible sufferings. She possesses the beautiful form assumed to grant the prayers of Indra and the other gods. She manifests both as the supremeand as empirical ("para") objects. She is compassionate. She is worshiped by Lakshmi, Vishnu, Rudra, and Brahma. Everything is born of the supreme deity, who is worshiped by the Shaktis such as Vama.

She has the form of the Mantra which begins with the letters Ka, Ha, Sa, the mantra which is worshiped and meditated upon by the twelve savants.

Let my loving mind be dissolved in Her, whose beloved is Shiva, and who is the mother of Guruguha. You embody the light, that is Brahman. You are the divine omniscience that contains all phenomena and their names. You reveal Kaamakala and the insights revealing one's perfect identity.
