Umāyāḥ Kriyāyoga-Rahasya
The Esoteric Teaching on Umā’s Kriyāyoga
न तस्य दुर्लभं किंचिच्छ्रीमातुः करुणावशात् । वर्द्धते पुत्रपौत्राद्या नश्यत्यखिलकश्मलम्
na tasya durlabhaṃ kiṃcicchrīmātuḥ karuṇāvaśāt | varddhate putrapautrādyā naśyatyakhilakaśmalam
શ્રીમાતાની કરુણાથી તેના માટે કશુંય દુર્લભ રહેતું નથી. પુત્ર‑પૌત્રાદિ વંશ વૃદ્ધિ પામે છે અને સર્વ પાપ‑મલ સંપૂર્ણ નાશ પામે છે।

A practical takeaway is regular Shiva–Shakti bhakti: japa of the Panchākṣarī mantra ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya") with a prayer for Śrī-Mātā’s karuṇā, supported by simple purity observances and temple/Linga worship.
