The Classification and Explanation of Yakṣiṇī Mantras
Kālī and Tārā Vidyās
पीठस्य शक्तयो मायात्मने हृत्पीठमंत्रकः । शिवरूपशवश्थां च शिवाभिर्दिक्षु वेष्टिताम् ॥ ११ ॥
pīṭhasya śaktayo māyātmane hṛtpīṭhamaṃtrakaḥ | śivarūpaśavaśthāṃ ca śivābhirdikṣu veṣṭitām || 11 ||
Ang mga Śakti ng pīṭha ay para sa yaong ang diwa ay Māyā; ang hṛt-pīṭha, ang luklukan ng puso, ay may sariling mantra. At dapat ding pagnilayan ang anyong bangkay na tila si Śiva, na napaliligiran sa lahat ng dako ng mga Śivā sa mga direksiyon.
Sage Sanatkumara (in dialogue with Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka
It presents an inner-ritual (dhyāna) model: the pīṭha is not only a geographic seat but an inner “heart-seat,” empowered by Śakti and stabilized by mantra, with protective directional encirclement by Śivā-energies.
Bhakti here is expressed as reverent contemplation and mantra-based worship: the devotee internalizes the deity as the heart-seat and meditates on Śiva surrounded by Śakti-forms, turning devotion into focused ritual awareness.
It highlights technical ritual knowledge—mantra application and directional protection (dik-bandhana/āvaraṇa-bhāvanā), a procedure-like detail consistent with Narada Purana’s Book 1.3 focus on specialized sacred sciences.
