This is the first English translation of the five limbs, or panchanga, of the aspect of Goddess known as
Bala Tripura. Bala means "girl", this aspect of the Red Goddess is the most highly erotic of Her three
aspects, as the 1,000 names show. Bala is an adolescent woman, Tripurasundari a mother, and
Tripurabhairavi a woman in whom menstruation has ceased.
Bala Patala
In the Kali Yuga there is no other Vidya resembling this Vidya. It is said that Shri Bala Tripura gives siddhi
quickly.
One should place "Shakti" (Sauh) at the end of 'Vagbhava" (Aim) and "Kamaraja" (Klim), ending this with
Namah.
Dakshinamurti is the Seer, Pankti is the Metre for pronunciation, the Goddess if Tripura-Bala, "Aim" is the
Seed, "Sauh" the Shakti. "Klim" is the linchpin. Its application is towards Dharma, Artha, Kama and
Moksha.
One should do (six fold) Nyasa on the head, on the mouth, in the heart, on the feet, on the navel lotus and
in all the limbs, O Devi.
One should do Nyasa according to the rules doing Seer, Hand and Limb nyasa, using the bijas of the
mantra, O Maheshvari.
Now I speak of Her meditation, advantageous for all sadhakas:
I meditate on Bala, clothed in red, with a digit of the Moon as Her ornament, effulgent as the rising sun,
with three eyes, holding a book and a rosary, showing the gestures of removing fear and giving, seated
on a red lotus.
Having meditated in this way one should repeat the mantra which gives success. A pure sadhaka should
prepare (the mantra by reciting it) 300,000 times.
One should worship the Shaktis of the pedestal when inscribing the Yantra. The pedestal Shaktis are Will
(Iccha), Knowledge (Jnana), Action (Kriya), Lotus-Girl (Kamini), Giver of Sexuality (Kamadayini), Sexual
Pleasure (Rati), Loving the Bliss of Sexual Pleasure (Ratipriyananda), and Mind-Born (Manonmani) lastly.
One should place these Shaktis round the pedestal using the mantra "Vyoma Parvata Tartiya Sadashiva
Mahapadam Pitha Padmasanaya Namah". This is the pedestal Mantra. Having put, in order, these 16
syllables around the image (Yantra) one should recite the root mantra.
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.
(Meditation:)
Like the coloured red rays of the Sun shining brightly through red dust, the colour of the Japa rose,
holding book, dispelling fear, and in Her other hands giving boons and holding a fully blossomed white
water lotus. Thus one should establish in one's heart the eternally beautiful form Bala.
One should recite Aim, O Tripura Bhavani. One becomes greater than God or Guru, and has dominion
and so forth of the partner of the Lord of the Mountains.
Within the course of one day, one should recite the King of Your Mantras known as the triple syllable
Kamaraja, that of Kameshvari. The person initiated in Kula should worship the earthly and most beautiful
and alluring courtesan.
One should recite Sauh, O Tripura, Mother of the three Worlds! You Who Manifest, Play, and bring all to
Completion, the core of the Absolute (Brahmapada), Self-Existent! One should worship in the rectangle,
the circles, the eight petalled lotus, within the city of the lotus of six petals, worshipping Bala in the Bindu
Pitha, in order to become greater than Shiva.
Whosoever should recite this hymn of Tripura, which consists of mantra, at night or at dawn, becomes
garlanded (praised) on earth, and in three days becomes equal to Shukra, Saura and Lakshmi.
Thus this stotra of Devi Bala, consisting of ultimate Mantra, is revealed. One should not give it to the
undevoted, and should conceal it as if it were Your own yoni.
