I have been looking for Astadasa Shakthi Peethalu in Telugu script for quite some time. I have found the same in English and Hindi, in various locations. Finally i have decided to make this my self.
There are 18 Maha Shakthi Peethas said to be the places where the body parts of maa Sathi Devi fell and became sacred places. The maa goddess is called with different names at each location.
This stotra written by Adhi Shankara names the places of Shakthi Peethas and the name of the Goddess in temples there. the English version is available around, which i have reproduced here.
The English Version is here.

లంకాయాం శాంకరీ దేవీ కామాక్షీ కంచికా పురీ
ప్రద్యుమ్నే శృంగాలా దేవీ చాముండా క్రౌంచ పట్టనే
అలంపురీ జోగులాంబా శ్రీశైలే భ్రమరాంబికా
కొల్హాపురీ మహాలక్ష్మీ మాహుర్యీ ఏకవీరికా
ఉజ్జయిన్యాం మహాకాళీ [పీఠికాయాం పురుభూతికా
ఒధ్యాయం గిరిజా దేవీం మాణిక్యా దక్షవాటికా
హరి క్షేత్రే కామరూపీ ప్రయాగే మహాదేశ్వరీ
జ్వాలాయాం వైష్ణవీ దేవీం గయా మాంగల్య గౌరికా
వారనస్యావు విశాలాక్షీ కాష్మీరేతు సరస్వతీ
అష్టాదశ శక్తి పీఠఆణి యోగినా మపి దుర్లభం
సాయంకాలే పఠిన్నిత్యం సర్వ శత్రు వినాశనం
సర్వరోగహరం దివ్యం సర్వసంపత్కరం శుభం
