Shri Devi - Shri Natha Shankara, Bliss-Maker, speak! O Lord God, how may one obtain
the yoga-power of full devotion, O Ocean of Wine 1 If You have compassion for Me
Shambhu, reveal that which is well-hidden!
Shri Bhairava -- By devotion to Shakti one comes to know the entire vermilion ocean of
Bliss, the hidden essence of Bala. Dear One, I will speak to You of Her 1,000 Names.
One should well hide it, O One with Thighs like Plantain Stems, it is revealed out of
deep and amorous affection for You. Whoever meditates on how Devi is hymned
immediately gains the whole mass of happiness, and is the cause of Knowledge.

Metre, Shri Bala Tripura is the Devata. Aim is the Seed, Sauh is the Shakti, Klim the
linchpin. The application by reading it are the four aims of Mankind.

Thus the celestial cause of Supreme Bliss has been declared, the Salt Vermilion Waves
of Bala giving all satisfaction. O Parvati, of all sets of 1,000 names in the tantras, this is
the quintessence.
Dearest, this hymn may be recited at all times, at night, and during puja in the morning.
When Bala, the Giver of All Dominion and Happiness, is pleased, She bestows jewels of
various kinds, wealth, and (answers all) requests. O Parameshvari, She bestows
whatever desires a person has, and sons and daughters are born if one wishes it.
Enemies are destroyed, ailments are alleviated. If in a difficult situation, things are
eased, medicines are bestowed on one. This bestows beautiful palaces, pictures, and
all dominion. For a person, agriculture bestows rich harvests, and the heavenly cow
seems to dwell for him on earth. His country prospers, and his state is not afflicted with
calamities. Great elephants shower him with streams of nectar.
He dwells happily in palaces, surrounded by gems and horses. His offspring become
rulers, free from strife, ministers of the king. Those known to him please him, he
becomes noble and very beautiful, wealthy, always in a good position, alluring. Spoken
speech and verse musically flow from him, like the Ganges in flood. He becomes able to
expound the various meanings of various verses, becoming skilled in the entire essence
of all, successful, his speech like gracious blossoms.
Shastras unknown to him are constantly revealed. Those with faults who would attack
him become fearful, they sing adoringly of him, like slaves before a king. Swords and
missiles hurt not his limbs. Women of all classes become completely subjugated by him.
Poison becomes like wine-nectar for him. The host of opponents are paralysed, and his
enemy crushed, if the knower of Yoga should continually practise for a period of nine
nights.
If he should recite day and night, without idleness, he becomes peaceful of mind, and all
created things in all the worlds become subject to him, there is no doubt of it.
If one should perform the yoga continually for six months, one becomes the (very
essence of) Yogamaya, without question. Whosoever reads this ultimate hymn whilst
meditating on Kamakala has women in a state of subjugation seeking him, intoxicated
with sexual desire, beautiful, mad with lust, with beautiful enraptured eyes. He knows
satiety of love through feminine desire, in this act of subjugation.
On a fortunate day, having written the yantra of Devi on birch-bark, colouring it with
rochana, kumkum, lac, red dye, or sunflowers, making the womb of the yantra
(=triangle) of gold or silver hue, very alluring, one should awaken Bala, having
worshipped and established Her. If one should then carry this on one 's head, throat,
shoulder, or near to one's heart or navel, one becomes wealthy, victorious, and gains
love.
There is nothing greater than this in the three Worlds for protection, most certainly.
Planets, diseases, and so forth, anxieties, are all banished, one gains happiness and
health, it is the cause of strength and virility, and destroys cruel elements and enemies.
It gives sons, daughters, increases a host of qualities, gives wealth and grain. In
whichever city this best of sadhaka dwells, whilst bearing Her, wealth is gained. In
whichever dwelling this stotra is placed and written out, O Varanana, there I - Shiva,
Hari and Kamala always dwell, and it is as if all the sacred waters spring from this place.
If the best of sadhakas should recite and read this devotedly he knows Knowledge,
Bliss and Unity. O Deveshi, by reading this hymn, one gains the fruit of worship. One
should recite it very carefully having established oneself in the six fold Nyasa. In the
best of all tantras is the puja of Bala. There the 16 letters are the greatest thing. This,
the best of all hymns, is found there.
O Sundari, one should never give this to those who are not pupils, the impure,
fraudulent, indolent, who make no efforts, the undevoted, those deficient of Vishnu
bhakti, the unstable or the stupid. It should be given to those who are devoted, as it is
the cause of liberation, and augments devotion. O Varanana, whilst engaging in sexual
intercourse (Latayoga), one may read the hymn. One becomes like the Aeon Creeper
(Kalpalata), and the fruit of one's desires are achieved.
If a sadhaka should steadily recite this whilst in Latayoga, offering blossoms to the
gazelle-eyed (partner), he is blessed with the results of 100 sacrifices (Yajna). O
Deveshi, Brahma and the other (devatas) worship his feet, he himself becomes like
Shiva -- that discriminating person who is attached to devotion to Bala. He becomes
one with the Bliss of the Absolute, Jyotsna, in the state of Sadashiva.
