Sri Mathre namaha
Sri adi Sankara bhagavadh pada wrote a famous stotra called Akilandeswari Akshara malika to praise and worship matha Akilandeswari.
As he has already done same mantra mathruka pushpa mala on devi this pushpamala is named especially on Akilandeswari as
Akilandeswari Akshara malika /
Akilandeswari mathruka pushpa mala
Here he has stringed a garland of 53 verses with a beautiful combination of Sanskrit words starting from "A" to "sha"
peculiarity of this stotra is that it has 53 verses which correspond to the 53 alphabets and respective verse containing mostly words starting with that alphabet
There is also a story that Adhi Sankara who visited this temple drew a Sri Chakra on her ear studs and hung it on her ears. The stotra which was available to me was in Tamil script. So there may be mistakes in the transcription.

Who is served by the divine maidens,
Who is filled with the divine knowledge,
Who is not clear to the naked eye,
And who is the daughter of the king of mountains.
