I'm not sure whether it's translated even into Italian:

Anyhoo, I like "kybällä" the rhythm of the Tantric texts I've seen
thus far. I think the first one I saw in Sanskrit was Spanda-kaarikaa.
Here's the first shloka (from memory):

yasyonmeSa-nimeSaabhyaaM jagataH pralayodayau
taM shakti-cakra-vibhava-prabhavaM ShankaraM stumaH

As to the rhythm, in my book it's comparable to
that of the foremost Rgvedic RSis.
