ਦੇਵੀ ਦਾ ਸਰਵਾਰਥ-ਸਾਧਕ ਬੀਜ ‘ਵਿਯਤ’ ਦੇ ਆਕਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਹੈ, ‘ਵੀਤਿਹੋਤ੍ਰ’ ਨਾਲ ਸਮਨ੍ਵਿਤ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਅਰਧਚੰਦਰ ਦੀ ਕਾਂਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਇਸ ਏਕਾਕ੍ਸ਼ਰ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਦਾ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ-ਚਿੱਤ ਯਤੀ ਧਿਆਨ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ—ਪਰਮਾਨੰਦਮਯ, ਗਿਆਨ-ਜਲ ਦੇ ਮਹਾਸਾਗਰ ਸਮਾਨ।
The seed (bīja) of the Goddess—accomplishing all aims—is joined with the form of ‘viyat’ and endowed with ‘vītihotra’, and is resplendent with the half-moon. Thus the one-syllabled mantra is meditated upon by ascetics of purified mind, who are made of supreme bliss, oceans of the waters of knowledge.
Ekākṣara-japa and bīja-dhyāna; nāda-anusandhāna (sound-inquiry) leading to absorption; use of lunar imagery for śīta-prasāda (cool clarity) and steadiness; supports mantra-yoga and śākta upāsanā culminating in jñāna.
