Śrīcakra–Mantra–Pūjāvidhi: Agastya–Hayagrīva Saṃvāda
Lalitopākhyāna Context
लक्षत्रितयजापेन सहस्रजनिपातकैः / मुच्यते नात्र संदेहो निर्मलो नितरां मुने / क्रमात्षोडशलक्षेण देवीसांनिध्यमाप्नुयात्
lakṣatritayajāpena sahasrajanipātakaiḥ / mucyate nātra saṃdeho nirmalo nitarāṃ mune / kramātṣoḍaśalakṣeṇa devīsāṃnidhyamāpnuyāt
O muni, by three lakṣas of japa one is freed from the grave sins of a thousand births—of this there is no doubt; and in due course, by sixteen lakṣas, one attains the nearness of the Devī.
