[Guest guest]

mahAcatuhsastikotiyoginiganasevitA : Attended by the great sixty-four

crores of bands of Yoginis.

 

The BrAhmi and other seven divinities, each has eight saktis,

aksobhyA etc, who are the parts of them; hence there are sixty-four.

Each has a crore of bands. Really speaking these sixty-four crores

mean according to the TantrarAja different Saktis; "In LalitA's nine

cakras, O beloved one, there are many saktis, numbering to 64 crores."

 

The great means nince times multiplied. Amongst the nine cakras, from

Trailokya-mohana, in each cakra separately there are 64 crores of

Yoginis dwelling. The total number comes to 5 abja, 7 arubha and 6

crores of saktis.
