Can someone tell me where I can find the durga pancharatnam text in sanskrit, tamil or english online? I found many sites with audio for the same but not the text.

thanks!

Try: http://sanskrit.gde.to/ and click on Sanskrit documents at top left, then click on devi/tantra. Scroll down the list and there are several items pertaining to Durga.
