The Devi Navaratnamalika stotram (the garland with nine gems), composed by Sri Adi Sankaracharya in the Bhujanga-prayata (or Snake metre) which has an undulating pattern, just like a snake's movement. It is composed in praise of the all-enchanting beauty and gracefulness of the Great Goddess who is the cause of this Universe.

her forehead which has a colour of black cloud and is similar
to the row of bees sitting, Who has bands made of flowers like
