The sadAshiva chakra is composed of five chakras: tatpuruSha, aghora,

vAmadeva, sadyojAta and IshAna.

 

Here the word chakra refers to yantra (maNDala), mUrti and mantra and

hence a sort of sa~Nketa traya for the five-fold diversity is seen in

all these aspects. The origin of the mantra chakra is from the mantra

shuddha praNava with its five components: a, u, ma, bindu and nAda.

These represent tatpuruShAdi mUrtis. From the praNava arises the five

lettered mahAmantra popularly known as shuddha pa~nchAkSharI mantra.

The five letters of this mantra represent the five mUrtis

(tatpuruShAdayaH). From each of the letters of this mantra originate

five panchAkSharI mantras known as the much(y)a panchAkSharas:

 

IshAna, sadyojAta, vamadeva, aghora and tatpuruSha panchAkSharas.

 

From each letter of these mantras, five panchAkSharas originate i.e.

from every mukhya pa~nchAkShara mantra, twenty-five panchAkShara

mantras emanate:

chit, j~nAna and sambhoga panchAkSharas

 

IshAna ->

prAsAda, prAsAdagochara, prAsAdasundara, prAsAdashekhara,

prAsAdasaura, prAsAdabandhana, prAsAdabhujanga, prAsAdakamala,

prAsAdachandra, prAsAdavidyAdhara, prAsAdavij~nAna, prAsAdachintAmaNi,

prAsAdadIpaka, prAsAdavidyatanu, prAsAdakamalAnanda, prAsAdakavacha,

prAsAdaratnAkara, prAsAdakaustubha, prAsAdalakShaNa, prAsAdakuNDalI,

prAsAdachUDAmaNi, prAsAdapArameshvarIya, prAsAdashaiva, prAsAdashakti

and mahAprAsAda panchakshara mantras

 

Each of the 125 panchAkShara mantras are said to confer different

siddhis. For example, the siddhi associated with prAsAdakamalAnanda is

bhuvanAdhva darshana, prAsAda chintAmaNi is somamaNDala darshana,

karNa panchAkShara is karNa siddhi, nayana panchAkshara is

dUradarshana siddhi, khechara panchAkShara is AkAshagamana siddhi and

so on.

 

Thus, this results in a total of 125 + 5 + 1 = 131 mantras (excluding

praNava) which again amounts to the number 5 (1+3+1). As these 131

mantras with praNava acting as mantra vIrya for each of them are

hidden within the prAsAda, this great mantra of sadAshiva is termed as

the seed or bIja of every mantra belonging to shaivAmnAya. Hence, the

UrdhvAmnAya tantra describes the siddhi of prAsAda as equivalent to

the siddhi of the entire gamut of shaiva mantras. When we speak of

prAsAda, the reference here is to shuddha prAsAda (of shaivAmnAya) but

due to its presence within parA prAsAda and prAsAda parA, this would

hold good even in the case of these mantras belonging to

shAmbhavAmnAya. Hence it is said regarding mahAprAsAda mantra:

The anuShThAna of sadAshiva chakra and panchAkShara prAsAda rashmi

nyAsa are performed during pradoSha and importantly on the last

prahara of Mahashivratri. The observance of sadAshiva chakra in its

aspects of mantra, mUrti and mandala grants panchAnga shuddhi without

which inner alchemy has been declared as unattainable by the rasa

siddhas.
