The Classification and Explanation of Yakṣiṇī Mantras
Kālī and Tārā Vidyās
मायाद्वयं ततः पश्चाद्दक्षिणे कालिके पदम् । पुनश्च सप्तबीजानि स्वाहांतोऽयं मनूत्तमः ॥ ३ ॥
māyādvayaṃ tataḥ paścāddakṣiṇe kālike padam | punaśca saptabījāni svāhāṃto'yaṃ manūttamaḥ || 3 ||
پھر ‘مایا’ کے دو حروف رکھو؛ اس کے بعد دائیں جانب ‘کالیکا’ کا لفظ قائم کرو۔ پھر سات بیج حروف شامل کرو—یہ بہترین منتر ‘سواہا’ پر ختم ہوتا ہے۔
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada on mantra-vidhi)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches precise mantra-structure: the power is conveyed not only by devotion but also by correct placement of mantra-units (pada) and seed syllables (bīja), culminating in the oblation-ending “svāhā,” indicating ritual completion and offering.
Bhakti here takes a disciplined form: reverence is expressed through exact recitation and ordered construction of the deity-mantra (Kālikā), showing that devotion in the Purana often works together with properly learned ritual method.
It reflects mantra-vyavasthā (technical arrangement of syllables) akin to Śikṣā (phonetics/recitation) and ritual procedure—how specific mantra-components (bīja, pada, svāhā) are sequenced for effective japa and homa.
