Abhirāmadṛśā (अभिरामदृशा) refers to “she whose eyes are beautiful” and is used to describe Goddess Kāmeśvarī, according to the King Vatsarāja’s Pūjāstuti called the Kāmasiddhistuti (also Vāmakeśvarīstuti), guiding one through the worship of the Goddess Nityā.—Accordingly, “[...] May the goddess Kāmeśvarī, who dwells at the front angle [of the central triangle], give me all objects of my desire. She is three-eyed, her eyes are beautiful (abhirāmadṛśā) and her limbs are ruddy. She has the crescent moon on her crest. She looks beautiful with her four hands marked with a snare together with a goad, a plate with the nectar of immortality, the gesture of boon-giving, and the gesture of safety. [...]”.
