[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Some of the interesting aspects related to number 81 is given below:

 

Abhinava Guptacharya in his Tantraloka describes the Mother as “AshtAshiti

pada†which describes the number 81. So, Mother is visualized as Eternal

Principle with 81 ardha matras (as per jayaradha’s commentary).

 

Among the Shad (6) AdhvAs, the number of padas in Pada Adhva is 81. The Siva

Stuthi which forms the Pada Adhva has 81 padas.

 

“Om vyomavyapine vyomarupaya sarvavyapine sivaya ananthaya anathaya

anasritaya dhruvaya sasvataya yogapitasamsthitaya nityayogine dhyanaharaya om

namah sivaya sarvaprabhave sivaya ishanamurdhaya tatpurushavaktraya

siva sarva

sarva sarvada om namo namah sivaya om namo namahâ€

 

This is the vishishta siva mantra having 81 padas.

 

The pancha brahma mantras of Siva (Isana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva,

Sadyojata) have 81 mantras.

 

Isana sarva vidyanam iswara sarva bhutanam brahma adhipitih brahmanah

adhipatih brahma siva me astu sada sivah om ………..(17)

 

Tatpurushaya vidmahe maha devaya dhimahi tat nah rudrah prachodayat ……(9)

 

Aghorebhyah atha ghorebhyah ghora ghorararebhyah sarvatah sarva sarvebhyo

namah te astu rudra rupebhyah ………(13)

 

Vama devaya namah jyestaya namah rudraya namah kalaya namah kala vikaranaya

namah bala vikaranaya namah balah pramathanaya namah sarva bhuta damanaya namah

manah unmanaya namah …………..(25)

 

Sadyah jatam prapadyami sadya jataya vain amah namah bhave abhave na atibhave

bhavasva maam bhava udbhavaya namah ………..(17)

 

So, 17+9+13+25+17 = 81.

 

The shadanga nyasas including Siva sankalpa, uttaranarayana mantra becomes 81

mantras

 

With regards,

Sriram

Shriram-ji that mantra is the famous Vyomavyapin mantra. It is the

central mantra of the Siddhanta tantras.In certain trika traditions it

is seat of the three Devi-s Para, Parapara and Apara. Based on this

9*9 form the 9 Avaranas which are commented upon in the commentary of

Bhatta Ramakantha the Kashmiri Saiddhantika Acharya.
