SUNDARI NI DIVYA (Kalyani)
Oh Tripurasundari! Is it the effect of? your grace or the fruit of my past worship that I have been privileged to have darsanam of your divine form, while the wise Gods, having
heard of the beauty of you who are at the sacred Adipuri, feel worried and excited whether it would be possible. for them to have the grand Sukravara darsana of yours?
Having heard it proclaimed in congregations that in this yuga you are the protector of the distressed, 1 have rushed to you with great trouble in expectation of enjoying peace of mind.
Oh my mother! I have to-day achieved the purpose of life in that I have feasted my eyes with your darsan and
stand in the position of a poverty-stricken man coming by wealth, and of withering crops suddenly getting water.

Ref.
Sangeetha sudha
In this kruti Tyagaraja seeks protection by Mother Tripura Sundari of Tiruvattiyuru. He describes her divine beauty, her glory and her ever compassionate nature.
P
Oh Tripura Sundari, many devotees are around you. Please protect me.
You are busy with countless number of devotees. But please don't delay in protecting me.
C
Oh Bala Tripura Sundari, You protect multitudes of Devatas. Your gentle gait belittles the walk of a swan. You immerse in divine sport of the universe for which you are the cause. You are adorned with the mark of Tilakam on your forehead. Devotion to you is superior. Why don't you shower mercy?
C
Oh Tripura Sundari, Vani worships you. You wield a parrort on your hand. You are the most auspicious and beautiful queen of Samba Siva. Your voice is sweet. I've full faith in you.
C
Oh Tripura Sundari, Varuna the rain God worships you. you reside majestically at Adipuram. You are the prop of the distressed. You are the daughter of the king of mountains, Himavanta. You dispel all evil. Tyagaraja prays for your grace.

Meaning:
O Merciful goddess!
Sister of my Sri Rama!
I have now known the way to salvation and have sought refuge in you alone.
I have learned the path by following which Brahma, Indra and other godes and devotees have reached the coean of eternal Bliss and swum in it.
I have found in you the Protector of the distressed and the fulfiller of the desires of those who have faith in you.
You are the Mother who confers inestimable prosperity and wealth, who protects devotees, destroying the wilderness of their past Karma.
I have now understood how great sages of the world, by the glory of your grace, have freed themselves from the bondage of worldliness and attained eternal bliss.
That I have been privileged to witness your Friday worship is due to my past lives' merits.
I have learned why great men consider your Japam alone throughout one's life the way to salvation.

SUNDARI NINU VARNIMPA"
(Arabhi)
Oh Tripurasundari! When it is not possible even for Brahma and other Devas to describe you, how can 1?
See-ing the radiance of your graceful face, the moon dare not come to the earth Seeing your exquisite beauty, Manmatha disappeared long ago;
seeing the majesty of your pose, he ocean became stupefied and motionless;
seeing your firmness, mount Meru became a rock;
seeing your eyes, fishes became ashamed and betook themselves to theocean;
seeing the charm of your lovely smile, Lord Siva became peerlessly white (pale);
seeing the brilliance of your jewels and garments, lightning became unsteady,
unable to stand even for a minute; hearing your sweet voice, Saraswati had to take her abode in her husband's tongue;
seeing your glory which purifies every thing, the sins of devotees had to flee away.
By your unceasing grace, poets have been able to produce lasting literary works;
the wise and the holy have spoken of you as the sister of Sri MahAvishnu!

(Saveri)
Thyagaraja keertanams
C.Ramanujachary
Oh my mother! When you are by my side to prop me,
why should I worry myself? When one has butter in his hand, why should he cry for ghee?
I have realised that wealth, horses, huge buildings, etc owned by people are all unreal and that no protection can be given to one by others. Iam not at all fond of the vain talk of the rich, Knowing that all these are maya, why should one mistake a rope for a snake ?
Sweet-tongued relations, brothers-in-law, sisters and brothers, are with us when we are in plenty; they desert us when we are in poverty. Realising this, I connot allow myself to fall a victim to their tricks. Will any one mistake a mirage for real water ?
This body adorned with golden ornaments and nouri-shed with milk is not permanent. Seeing that there is not
even an iota of purity, Tyagaraja has dedicated all good work done by him every day to you and has regarded everything including devatas as yourself,
