Some Mandala Devatas for Dashamahavidya

[Guest guest]

In the practice followed by my mother's family the worship of the

Mandalas of each Dashamahavidya includes the invocation of several

Vidyas just as in Amnayakramas of Tripurasundari.

 

Those for Bagalamukhi are (in itrans):

mR^ityunjaya or tryambaka rudra

vaTuka (these are called utkilana devatAs)

 

Then pa~nchAstra vidyA-s

 

Then the devIs: aparAjitA | shyAmA | chANDAlI | stambhanatvaritA

with then pUja of the bhUta haridraka is done along with biDALayakShiNI

 

Then the 8 bhairavas are worshiped with their mantras sandwiched

between the devIs svapneshvarI and ekajihvA.

 

Finally gaNesha is worshiped

 

....

For kamalA:

viShNu (mantra-rAjA (for women+varna4s ) or " mR^igona-bhIma kucharah "

R^ik)

kubera with his dhanadA

 

lakShmInarAyaNa is worshiped surrounded by bhuvanA, vajrarUpiNI,

bhogavatI, kAmAkShI, dhanarAj~ni
