tripura_sundari_ashtakam

Tripura Sundari Ashtakam by Adi Sankara at Stutimandal

Sample: I seek refuge in the immaculate and beautiful Mother, Who wanders in a Kadamba forest, Who is like a bank of clouds for the dynasty of sages, Whose buttocks have won over the mountains, Who is served by heavenly wide-hipped damsels, Who has new-lotus like eyes, Who is glistening like a new grey cloud, and Who is the consort of Trilocana (Śiva).[1]

lalitapancakam

Lalita Panchakam by Adi Shankara (attributed) at Stutimandal

Sample: At morning, I remember the lotus-like face of Lalitā, Which has red lips, Which has a large pearl decorated nose, Which has curved eyes whose corners reach the ears, Which has opulent jewel ear-rings, Which has a beautiful smile, and Which has a forehead decorated with deer-musk.[1]
