कामिक आगम: पूर्व भाग (अष्टाविंशति मूल शैव आगमों का प्रथम एवं सर्वोच्च आगम महाकोश)

Then he should slowly breath out. During the exhalation and through vayu tattva, he should think that
the body-tree has turned now into ashes and diffuse those ashes in all the ten directions. Finally, he should
contemplate through akasa tattva that the body-tree has now been absorbed into the pure space.
महामायांश्च विक्षोभ्य शाक्तं देहं प्रकल्पयेत्।
आप्लाव्य चामृतेनैव विद्याङ्गं विन्यसेत्ततः॥ ८९

icchājñānakriyāśakti locanaṁ mātṛkātmakam|
āvāhya tatra cātmānaṁ mudrayā puṣpamantrayuk|| 90
Then, having induced a slight move to the pure maya, he should contemplate the formation of a fresh body
related to Sakti. Having drenched it with the nectarine stream issuing from the thousand-petalled cakra,
he should make it to be a body of pure consciousness(vidya deha). He should then invoke his own self
which is of the nature of matrukas(letters) and which is having the iccha sakti, jnana sakti and kriya sakti as
its three eyes, to occupy that pure body of consciousness with the hand gesture of goad (ankusa mudra)
and with flowers and with the recital of appropriate mantra.

Then, he should place the isana mantra on his head; tatprusha mantra on the face; aghora mantra on the
chest; vamadeva mantra on the secret part; sadyojata mantra on the feet. This placing of the mantras should
be done along with a mudra appropriate to each one. Then he should identify the maala-brahma mantras
with his body, from the head to the feet. Or, he may do the nyasa of bija-brahma mantras. Subsequently,
he should do the nyasa of 38 kalas.

Sasini, Angada, Ishta, Marici, Jvalini – these are names of the Saktis of the five kala mantras pertaining to
Isana. The five kalas may be identified as associated with these Saktis or kala mantras alone may be
identified, without adding the name of Sakti.

The sadhaka should conceive the anga-mantras pertaining to the matrukas with those letters which
are identified with the heart and other locations. The parnava, seed letter ‘hamsah’ and another seed
letter ‘soham’ should be united in the beginning, middle and the end respectively. O, the Sages, eminently
rich in penance!, breasts, two eyes and the base-cakra(muladhara) added with heart and other
locations are considered to be the six limbs(shadangas) of the matruka.

The seed letter in the middle should be joined with the seed letter in the first. Or, the first seed letter
may be joined with middle seed letter. Of these two types, the first pattern is known as ‘lopa’ and the
second one is known as ‘kilam’. The exact form of the mantra should be formulated according to its
power of moving through the cakras and it should be united either with lopa or with kila. In the incantation
of the mantras, the sadhaka should unite other seed letters concerned with each mantra with the mula
mantra, exercising his reasoning skill. In order to gain the power of employing the mantras(mantra siddhi)
to achieve the desired fruits, he should add the seed letters in the kila pattern or in the lopa pattern and
then do the incantation(japa).

Having known well the process of employing the kila-technique, the sadhaka should perform all the rituals.
‘Namah’, ‘svaha’, ‘vashat’, ‘hum’, ‘vaushat’ and ‘phat’ – these are the six categories which are to be
identified with the hrudaya mantra, siro mantra, sikha mantra, kavaca mantra, netra mantra and astra mantra
respectively. Having done the nayasa of phonemes in this way, the sadhaka should do the nyasa of nine
tattvas.

The nine letters of the mantra to be pronounced through madhyama-sound should be identified with
dvadasanta, brahma-randhra, midpoint of the eyebrows, uvula, neck, heart, navel, the region where
the base of the genital organ meets and the base of the spinal(muladhara). The letters of Siva`s specific
mantra added with the corresponding Sakti kalas should be identified with navel, heart and the forehead.
The ‘vyoma vyapi’ mantra should be identified, from the top of the head to the big toe. Having perfectly
assumed the state of being in the form of mantras(mantratvam), the sadhaka should design appropriate
locations within his vidya-deha for the performance of puja, homa and Samadhi, in an orderly way. The
systematic worship should be done in the location of the heart. Fire-ritual should be performed in
the navel. In the forehead, he should meditate on Lord Siva,who is the dispenser of boons and whose look
is directed towards all directions and all beings.

With regard to the process of invoking the Lord Isvara, he should design an inner shrine within his heart.
Then he should arrange for a suitable seat in a manner which is explained here, now. He should invoke the
Lord holding sandal and other substances in his hands and worship Him mentally. In the fire-pit which has
appeared in his navel as self-installed, he should offer the oblations of supreme nectarine drops. Through
the regulated flow of inbreath, he should kindle the fire-pit, self-installed in the navel. Elevating himself
to the midpoint between the eyebrows, he should meditate on Sivalinga which is with the resplendence of
pure crystal and with great splendour. Contemplating the perfect state of oneness with that Linga and
meditating on Lord Siva who is present within that Linga, he should breath in through the left channel.
Such actions are considered to be the worship of Siva. Then, he should offer the oblations of the nectar
of consciousness(jnanamruta) through outbreath(pingala nadi). Having inhaled the prana and making it
to enter the muladhara cakra, he should raise his self upwards through outbreath, cutting asunder the
knots including their roots. Once again, he should inhale the prana through the ida nadi and raise
his self to the midpoint between the eyebrows. There he should meditate constantly on Lord Siva.

Or, if he desires to perform the fire-ritual mentally, in a more elaborate way, he should first conceive
his body to have been composed of the vibrancies of all the tattvas from the siva tattva to the pruthvi
tattva and ideate three sections which are present therein. The three sections are – the asana section,
murti section and sambhu section(seat, form and the mantra). He should contemplate the four groups of
tattvas which remain absorbed there by these three sections.

In this body which has well expanded now, he should design a lotus-seat which is of the nature of Sakti.
Having ideated the presence of the form of vidya deha of the Lord, he should invoke Lord Siva to
occupy that form. On the pericarp of the lotus-seat, he should worship Lord Siva as surrounded by
the Brahma Mantras and Anga Mantras, Vidyesvaras, Ganas, Lokapalas and Ayudhas(weapons). Here,
Lord Siva may be worshipped as surrounded of three enclosures, one avarana or twenty-seven avaranas
according to capacity of the sadhaka.

In the shrine designed mentally, with the substances conceived mentally, the sadhaka should daily
contemplate Lord Siva, the Supreme Isvara, and worship Him. By constant and deep meditation on the
garuda-bird(eagle), the Guru attains the state of onenees with garuda and attains the fruit of the removal
of poison. In the same way, the sadhka attains the state of oneness with Siva by constant and deep
meditation on Him and attains the fruits as deired by him.

By arresting the inflow and outflow of the prana, the worship of Siva should be done. Under the context
of all important phases of events, the sadhaka should breath out, well tuned to the inflow of the breath.
Having worshipped the five Lords - Isana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojata – along with
their spouses, Angamantra Devas, Ashta Murtis, Mahesa and Sadasiva, he should worship Lord Siva
and then breath out.
विद्येश्वरावृतो चैव गण्शावरणे तथा।

The avarana of Vidyesvaras, the avarana of Ganesvaras, the avarana of Lokapalas , the avarana of
Ayudhas, the avarana of the Rudras and other Lords – when these avaranas are worshipped, the sadhaka
should breath out at the end of the worship of each avarana. Before commencing the worship of next
avarana, he should breath out again. This should be repeated for each avarana.

चन्द्रार्कोदयतः पूजा वृथा क्लेशो भविष्यति ॥ १९४

candrārka nāśane pūjā sādhayedīpsitaṁ phalam|

The worship being done during the rising of the moon and the sun(when the inbreath and the outbreath
being not arrested) would become futile and cause afflictions. The worship done while there is neither
moon nor the sun would accomplish the desired fruit. When the breath is flowing through the central
channel(sushumna), the sadhaka should worship all the Deities.

Additionally, the sadhka who is now with the body constituted of Sakti kalas, should offer those
substances born of eight tattvas enumerated for the worship, such as pruthvi and others. All sorts of
perfumes denote the pruthvi tattva. Water meant for ablution, drinkable items, eatable items – all these
represent jala tattva. The rows of lamps represent the agni tattva. Fan, chowrie and such other items
denote the vayu tattva. Recital of hymns, musical songs and such others represent the akasa tattva.
In this way, all other tattvas should be offered in terms of various paraphernalia, in a fitting way.
शिवेनैवोक्तवद् ध्यात्वा निर्द्वन्द्वोऽमृतं अश्नुते।

śivenaivoktavad dhyātvā nirdvandvo'mṛtaṁ aśnute|
kṛtvaivaṁ ātmaśuddhiṁ tu sthānaśuddhiṁ athācaret|| 199

The sadhaka, having meditated and worshipped according to the directions revealed by Siva Himself,
becomes free from the bondage caused by the pairs of opposites and enjoys the nectarine bliss. Having
completed the purification of the self, the Guru should then perform the purification of the place where
the puja is to be done.
तालमुद्रा त्रयं कृत्वा प्राकारं हेतिना स्मरेत्।

tālamudrā trayaṁ kṛtvā prākāraṁ hetinā smaret|
tadbahiḥ parighāṁ dhyātvā kavacenaiva mantrataḥ|| 200
Having displayed the tala-mudra three times(striking the left palm with the middle three fingers of the
right hand) with the recital of astra mantra, the Guru should contemplate the place as surrounded by
an enclosure(prakara). He should ideate the presence of moat as lying outside the prakara with the recital
of kavaca mantra.
अस्त्रजालं तु तद्बाह्ये न्यसेद्विघ्नापनुत्तये।

Then the Guru should conceive an array of astras(weapons) encircling outside the moat in order to
drive away the obstructing forces. Having ideated a resplendent pavilion, he should perform the
