त्रिपुरा त्वरिता नित्या सांख्या कुंडलिनी ध्रुवा । कल्याणी शोभना निरया निष्कला परमा कला
tripurā tvaritā nityā sāṃkhyā kuṃḍalinī dhruvā | kalyāṇī śobhanā nirayā niṣkalā paramā kalā
তেওঁ ত্ৰিপুৰা আৰু ত্বৰিতা; তেওঁ নিত্যা, সাংখ্যা, কুণ্ডলিনী আৰু ধ্ৰুৱ-স্থিৰা। তেওঁ কল্যাণী আৰু শোভনা; তেওঁ অৱতৰণ-অতীত, নিষ্কলা আৰু নিৰ্মলা—সঁচাকৈ পৰম কলা আৰু শক্তি।

Type: kshetra
