Meaning
The Sri Vidya goddess as a girl
Bala Tripura Sundari is Lalitha in the form of a young girl. The Lalitopakhyana describes her as Lalitha's daughter, the girl warrior who destroys the sons of Bhandasura. This Ashtothram opens with Kalyani, Tripura, Bala, Maya and Tripura Sundari, and almost at once brings in seed syllables, Klimkari and Hrimkari, with Panchadashakshari as name 13. From the start it speaks the language of Sri Vidya upasana.
Sri Chakra and the subtle body
Sarva Sankshobhini, Navamudreshvari, Ananga Kusuma and Ananga recall the deities and mudras of the Sri Chakra avarana puja, while Mantrini, Saubhagyavati and Sarva Matrika point to her retinue. From name 67 the list climbs through the chakras: Svadhishthana, Anahata, Manipura, Ajna and Vishuddha, followed by Sushumna. Here she is meditated on as the Kundalini within the body.
Auspiciousness and the bindu
The final names call her Mangalya Dayini, Yoga Lakshmi, Bhoga Lakshmi and Rajya Lakshmi. The list ends with Trikonaga, Navakona Pura Vasa and Bindutraya Samanvita, arriving at the bindu at the centre of the Sri Chakra. It is read on Fridays, full moon days and especially during Sharan Navaratri, when the Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada dresses the goddess as Bala Tripura Sundari on one day of Dasara.
