shiva pa~nchAkShari kavacha

[Guest guest]

I found this in an old publication in Telugu and here it is in Itrans.

A wordpad document of the same in nagari script is uploaded into the

files section. There seem to be some grammatical errors.

 

This is from the shiva rahasya

 

***For women and shudra-s, mAyA bIja is the bIja while the shakti and

kIlakaM are reversed for pa~nchAkShari in the hallowed Sringeri

tradition. This has support from the shiva purAna, sUta samhita,

various shaivAgama-s as also in the kAlI vilAsa tantra,

shrIvidyArNava and other purANa and tantra grantha-s.

 

On shaiva siddhAnta topic for Sriram: I am not very sure but linga

dhArana, but seems to be for vIra shaiva-s. The siddhAnta shaiva-s

(mantra mArga shaiva-s) probably do not wear it? Do correct me here

if I am wrong. The ArAdhya-s in Andhra are highly influenced by the

vIra shaiva movement and so they seem to be a bit different.
