The Sruti (Tai.Up., III.2) says “ That by which when created they live.†The three letters of the Srividya are hidden here; one of them is called sodasikala (the sixteenth and the last part.) For it is said, “That kala (sixteenth) should be imparted to a faithful student, devoted to his guru.†This has not been learned by many modern students from the guru ; but it has been revealed by Lolla in his commentary on the Saundaryalahri (v. 32) where he has made it plain that it is the first among the mantras of Caturlakshmi. The other two (letters) are called Prakasa and Vimarsa (primary and secondary). For the Samketapaddhati says, “A is first of all letters, Prakasa, and the supreme Siva; ha is the last and stands for kala (Devi) and it is said to be Vimarsa.†These two are very secret, and their nature is described in the Yoginihrdaya (II.21) rather in a veiled manner. “To Her the viyat and kala (i.e. a and ha) and the other (sabda) forms which are in the second bindu and at the end of the visarga, respectively, which are supreme, crossed (i.e. tended towards manifestation).†We have ourselves dealt with the subject in full in the Varivasyarahasya. Again the part of the word rajni (queen) contains the mantra called Mayarajni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
