The Tilaka of Sharada

She creates the five enchanted arrows, the five desires, the five divine trees, (73)

The five breaths, the five colors of the Great Lord, the five forms, the five aspects original: "kala", and the five Brahmas in the order of the Vedic verses. (74)

That Supreme Power, who is the form of the Veda and the meaning of the Veda, creates them. The goddess, multiplied sixfold, holds the six-letter mantra. (75)

The six-fold Tripura mandala, the six-letter Ganapatya mantra, the six-letter mantra of the Moon, and the six-letter Narasimha mantra. (76)

The six seasons beginning with Spring, the six leaders of the hosts original: "ganadhipan" beginning with Amoda, the six sheaths, the six waves, the six tastes, the six powers beginning with Vakini, and the six paths. (77)

The six-fold mandala of the Shakti gave birth to the six supports. Whatever is six-fold in this universe, all that is the Supreme Goddess. (78)

Multiplied sevenfold, the eternal one, who is the half-body of Shankara, creates the seven-syllable Tripura mandala and the seven-letter Vinayaka mantra. (79)

She is the septet of the utterances, the seven-letter Sudarsana, the worlds, the mountains, the arrows, the elements, the sages, the seven planets, and the islands. (80)

The offerings are all enumerated, as are the seven tongues of the fire. Whatever else is seven-fold was born from her. (81)

Multiplied eightfold, the power creates the two eight-letter mantras of Shiva, the supreme eight-letter mantra of Vishnu known as the fortune-bringer, (82)

The eight-letter mantra of Hari, the pair of eight-letter mantras of the Shakti, the eight-letter Saura mantra, the Daurga mantra, and the eight-letter mantra of the Supreme Self. (83)

The eight-letter mantra of Nilakantha, the mantra of Vasudeva, the divine Kamargala mandala, and the Ghatargala mandala of the goddess. (84)

The octet of mantras is auspicious and dear to the hearts of the gods. From the Brahmi and others, to the Bhairava snakes, to their forms and the Vasus, (85)

She is the eight-altar of the Great Goddess, endowed with the eight-by-eight.
