॥ Devi Khadgamala Archana – English ॥
॥ Śrī devī khadgamalarchanam ॥
This is more or less a mini version of navavarana pūja without involving elaborate procedures and in particular establishing arghya vessels. Though this cannot be a replacement for regular navavarana pūja, yet it pleases different śakti-s in Śri Chakra. Perfection attained in doing this as Archana will enable us to understand all the śakti-s of Śri Chakra, which will be of great help while doing navavarana pūja. There are fifteen versions of khadgamala, corresponding to fifteen lunar days (tithi-s) and fifteen aksara-s of Pañchadaśī mantra. Khadgamala is based on a number of aksara-s in each of these versions. Similarly, dhyana verses, rsi and chandas differ according to the lunar day and the aksara. What is given here is śuddha śakti namonta mala, which is generally used for Archana.
