॥ Pratyangira Yantra Avarana Puja Homam ॥
Prologue:-
All tantra sadhanas involve the worship of the deity, through the form of a yantra (mandala). The yantras are sacred geometric diagrams, that are deemed to represent the japa sadhana deity, at the very centre, covered by other deities. The deities of the coverings (avarana-s), are usually at the corners or centres, of intersecting geometric figures. Worshipping the avarana deities helps unlock the power of the mantra as well as that of the main deity. It is therefore considered as an essential part of mantra sadhana and is recommended to be worshipped on a daily basis if time permits. An alternate to avarana pūja, is the Khadgamala stotram.
The pītha (pedestal) and avarana pūja-s are performed during the mantra japa, after the dhyana (meditation) verse. The pūjas are for worshipping the yantra of śrī pratyaṅgira Devi, to bestow Her grace on the mantra japa and sadhana. Pītha represents the table or stool, upon which the yantra is placed. Usually, the yantra is placed on a red or yellow cloth.
It is very important to note, that the directions mentioned on yantras related to tantra sadhana, are not necessarily the same as their geographical equivalents. In tantra, the directions for deities can be different from the geographical notation and it also varies by the gender of the deity. In general, For male deities, the East direction is the geographical South; and for female deities, it’s the geographical North. For śrī vidya related deities, the East is usually on the geographical north. One may choose to sit facing the geographical East direction so that the East end of the yantra is facing away from the devotee. This puja has been documented with this assumption.
Please follow the enumerated corners in the yantra, for each of the avarana deities. The pītha devatas are not represented on the yantra, since the yantra itself is placed on the pītha. We need to establish the proper vessels called kalaśa-s, invoke Lord Varuna and establish the Viśesa arghya vessel, prior to the start of the avarana pūja. Following which, the pītha devatas are worshipped and established on the pedestal first. One must imagine the pītha to be divided into various segments to accommodate the enlisted deities. Following the worship of the pītha devatas, one must worship the three mandala-s of Agni/Fire, Sūrya/Sun and Candra/Moon. These mandala-s should be imagined to be at the top of the pītha and through their worship, the place where the yantra will be placed, is further sanctified and energized. Following the mandala-s, the pītha śakti-s are invoked to grant various types of victories to the devotee, worshipping the yantra. Finally, the yantra is placed on the pedestal (pītha) and the life-infusing pranapratistha mantras are invoked to energize the yantra. After which, the dhyana shloka is recited and the avarana pūja begins. It is to be noted that the pedestal worship and the life-infusing ritual are a one-time activity and need not be performed on a regular basis.
Before starting the pūja, ensure that you have a brass plate, some water in a jug or a container, as well as a disposable container for the water. Vessels for Karana kalaśa, samanya arghya and viśesa arghya. For viśesa kalaśa, a uttarani (this is like a small spoon, but with more depth to hold water and is always placed inside pañcapatra, which is like a round mug). For samanya arghya, a conch with a base (ideally in the form of a tortoise) is required. For viśesa arghya another pañcapatra, preferably in silver or copper is required. A tweezer is also required and this tweezer should be either made of silver or copper. This is meant to perform tarpana. Instead of a tweezer, a thin silver rod is used with spikes on one side and a very small uttarani like structure that can hold one or two drops of viśesa arghya can also be used. Keep some flower petals, kuṅkum (red powder), clarified butter or ghee, clean cloth and some unbroken rice (aksata-s) ready as well. A spoon (uddharani), should be handy for the tarpana. This should be done in a similar manner as the śrī cakra avarana pūja. The flower petals can be placed from the left hand and the tarpana from the right hand. A cut piece of ginger is required for the tarpana process. Some fragrance, oil, incense, lamps should also be kept available. Food offerings such as meat, wine, fish etc. (pañcamakara) or their substitutes should be kept ready as well. Internal worship can also be done by those, who’re unable to perform in a ritualistic manner. At least one lamp can be lit and incense shown to the deity as part of the puja ritual.
Śrī Pratyaṅgira Devi Homam is a fire ritual that is often employed when facing insurmountable challenges, black magic and severe enmity from opponents. This ritual employs using red chilies to help get rid of enemies and all negativities.
Both homam and avarana pūja can be done separately. Mantra japa combined with avarana pūja fetches quick results. Homam combined with avarana pūja is also the best way of performing the ritual to get maximum benefits. One must consider it if initiated into Her mantras.
For the homam, the following mūla mantra has been given as an example. One should use the mantra they are initiated into, for both the avarana pūja and homam.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
We start with the avarana pūja and then proceed to homam.
At the very beginning, worshipping of Lord Ganeśa is mandated, to help us gain success in all our undertakings, that includes this ritual as well.

3. Dhyanam
Meditate upon the Divine Mother Pratyaṅgira devi and merge in Her at the heart cakra.
ūrdhvam kapalam damarum triśūlam sambibhratī baddha kalavatamsam ।
piṅgordhva kauśī sītabhīmadamstra bhūya dvibhūtyai mamabhadrakalī ॥
ऊर्ध्वं कपालं डमरुं त्रिशूलं संबिभ्रती बद्ध कलावतंसं ।
पिङ्गोर्ध्व कौशी सीतभीमदंष्ट्रा भूया द्विभूत्यै ममभद्रकाली ॥
Meditate on the Divine Mother Bhadrakali Pratyaṅgira devi, holding a cup, skull, a drum and a trident with loosened hair and dark complexion. She a wide gaping mouth and extremely terrific in form.
4. Kalaśa sthapana (कलश स्थापन) –
Kalaśa is a water vessel of great importance in pūja and meant to represent the entire universe within it. In the context of śrī pratyaṅgira devi, we establish the various patra-s (vessels) by following the below procedures –
a. Samanarghya –
Meditate on śrī pratyaṅgira devi, perform Her upacara-s (offering bath, dress, food, lights, fragrance etc.) mentally, perform a few recitations of Her root mūla mantra and also meditate upon the meaning and significance of the Kamakala bīja īm̐.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
To our left, create a śatkona (hexagram) resembling a star-of-David with a bindu (dot) at the centre. Draw a circle outside the hexagram and a triangle within the hexagram. Also, draw a square enclosing the circle. To our right, create a triangle, a circle around it and a square encompassing the circle. Please a plank or any other support base for the Kalaśa. This plank is called an adhara (support). Now invoke the adhara śakti by meditating upon Her (om̐ adhara śaktibhyo namaḥ) and invoke the bīja am̐ and place the water vessel (conch) upon the plank, once again invoking the ‘hrn’ mantra for purifying the water contained in the vessel. Add some Ganges water if available, place sandal paste and red unguent (kumkum) reciting the pranava mantra om̐. One can also worship the Sun, Moon, Fire deities and other kalas (phases of the moon), show the dhenu mudra, recite any śrī pratyaṅgira devi mantra, to establish the Kalaśa and make it a general arghya (ablution) vessel, which is also termed as samanarghya (conch shell designated for this purpose). Take some water from the conch using an uddharani (which is like a spoon with a deeper trough to hold more water) and transfer to a small container for use in the following procedures.
The following mantra can be invoked to please the powers of all the holy rivers –
gaṅge ca yamune caiva godavarī sarasvati narmade sindhu kaveri jalesmin sannidhim kuru।
गङ्गे च यमुने चैव गोदावरी सरस्वति नर्मदे सिन्धु कावेरि जलेस्मिन् सन्निधिं कुरु।
b. Viśesa kalaśa –
Once the samanarghya is established, sprinkle water on the left and once again adore the vahni (agni) mandala with the following mantra worshipping all the deities contained within. The Viśesa Kalaśa can now be placed on the plank – adhara.
ram̐ vahni mandalaya daśa kalatmane namaḥ ।
रँ वह्नि मण्डलाय दश कलात्मने नमः ।
Reciting the phat (फट्) mantra, purify the Kalaśa, pour water inside it, adorn with silk clothes around the vessel, flowers etc. and invite Devi to establish Herself at the centre. The Arka (Sun) and Soma (Moon) mandala-s are now invoked with the following mantras –
For Sun mandala –
am̐ arka mandalaya dvadaśa kalatmane namaḥ ।
अँ अर्क मण्डलाय द्वादश कलात्मने नमः ।
For Moon mandala –
om̐ candra mandalaya sodaśa kalatmane namaḥ ।
ॐ चन्द्र मण्डलाय षोडश कलात्मने नमः ।
Now pray to the Divine Mother and offer simple pūja with flowers, rice grains (aksata-s). Now display the avagunthana mudra (move the index finger with the other fingers closed, in a circle) around the Kalaśa, indicating protection by the Divine Mother, using the mantra ‘hum̐’ (हुँ). Now recite the śrī pratyaṅgira devi mūla (root) mantra that one is initiated into (preferably the maha pratyaṅgira devi mantra), by looking at the Kalaśa for sometime.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
Following which, sprinkle water around the Kalaśa, reciting the ‘namaḥ’ mantra. Place some sandal paste reciting the śrī pratyaṅgira devi mūla (root) mantra,
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
also some flowers on the vessel and pray to the Divine Mother to release us from all sins forthwith! Recite the following mantras thrice, for that purpose –
evameva parabrahma sthūla sūksma mayam druvam ।
kacodbhavam brahma hatyam tena te naśayamyaham ॥ 1 ॥
एवमेव परब्रह्म स्थूल सूक्ष्म मयम् द्रुवम् ।

sūrya mandala sambhūte varunalaya sambhave ।

vedanam pranavo bījam brahmanandamayam yadi ।

वेदानाम् प्रणवो बीजम् ब्रह्मानन्दमयम् यदि ।
तेन सत्येन हे देवि ब्रह्म हत्याम् व्यपोहतु ॥ ३ ॥
om ̐vam̐ vīm̐ vūm̐ vaim̐ vaum̐ vaḥ ।
brahma śapamocita sura devyai namaḥ ॥ 4 ॥
ॐ वाँ वीँ वूँ वैँ वौँ वः ।
ब्रह्म शापमोचिता सुरा देव्यै नमः ॥ ४ ॥
hrīm̐ śrīm̐ kram̐ krīm̐ krūm̐ kraim̐ kraum̐ kraḥ
sura krsna śapam mocaya mocaya amrtam śravaya śravaya svaha ॥ 5 ॥
ह्रीँ श्रीँ क्राँ क्रीँ क्रूँ क्रैँ क्रौँ क्रः
सुरा कृष्ण शापम् मोचय मोचय अंऋतम् श्रावय श्रावय स्वाहा ॥ ५ ॥
om ̐hamsaḥ suci-sadvasur-antariksa saddhota vedisat atithi dronasat nrsadvarasdrta sadvyoma sadabja goja rtaja adrija rtam vrhat ॥ 6 ॥
ॐ हंसः सुचिषद्वसुरन्तरिक्ष सद्धोता वेदिषत् अतिथि द्रोणसत् नृषद्वरस्दृत सद्व्योम सदब्जा गोजा ऋतजा अद्रिजा ऋतम् वृहत् ॥ ६ ॥
Now meditate upon the forms of Ānanda Bhairava and Sura Bhairavi and recite the following mantras –
hasaksamalavaya om ̐anandabhairavaya vausat ॥
sahaksamalavaya hum̐ sura devyai vausat ॥
हसक्षमलवय ॐ आनन्दभैरवाय वौषट् ॥
सहक्षमलवय हुँ सुरा देव्यै वौषट् ॥
Now offer worship at the centre of the Viśesa Kalaśa arghya, along three lines around the centre, in a clockwise manner with the following mantras –

ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् ।
Now hold the Viśesa Kalaśa arghya and draw a triangle, satkona, circle and square between ourselves and the yantra (śrī pratyaṅgira devi yantra or the śrī yantra). The figure should be the same as was done for the samanarghya.
Following which, the pītha-s are worshipped. Four in particular, at the ends of the square from the above diagram.

Now on the corners of the inner triangle within the circle, recite the tritari-s (aim̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐) and at the very centre, place the adhara designated for the Viśesa arghya. Whenever the word ‘namaḥ’, is uttered, please sprinkle some water through the uddharani (spatula shaped spoon used in rituals) or by using kuśa (long grass) grass. The water should be from the same container that we used earlier, which has the contents from the samanarghya :-

Using the direction format of the śrī pūja, worship the Āvarana-s. Sit facing the Eastern direction and the top of the yantra is now facing the Eastern direction, with the bottom facing the west and ourselves.
Note:- The caturtari-s “om̐ aim̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐” apply only to the Āvarana-s 8, 9 and 10. But references do exist in some texts, for applying them to all the Āvarana-s. For consistency, they have been added to all Āvarana-s. One can follow either of the traditions.
1. Starting from the bhūpura (gates) the first avarana is worshipped, consisting of the direction lords for all the 10 directions, including top and bottom. Flowers or flower petals from the left hand and the water from the right hand can be used for worshipping the yantra. Pūja is with the flowers and tarpana is with water.

The pañcapūja procedures are deemed to be performed on the homa vessel, by offering sandalwood powder, flowers, incense and waving a lamp in a clockwise direction three times. Now submit a little portion of the naivedya offerings (non-watery and easily flammable) to the homa vessel with the following mantras.
- Now uttering the below mantra, contemplate the oneness of the mouths of Lord Agni and Devi Pratyaṅgira.
agni śrī pratyaṅgira devata ekīkaranardham pañcavimśati ahutim hosyami ।
अग्नि श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवता एकीकरणार्धम् पञ्चविंशति आहुतिम् होष्यामि ।
Complete 25 recitations of the mūla mantra with svaha appended.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat svaha ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।
- Next, contemplate the oneness of the spiritual channels (nadī-s) of Lord Agni and Devi Pratyaṅgira, with the following mantra –
agni śrī pratyaṅgira devata nadī sandhanardham ekadaśa ahutim hosyami ।
अग्नि श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवता नाडी सन्धानार्धम् एकादश आहुतिम् होष्यामि ।
11 invocations of the mūla mantra are to be completed with svaha appended.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat svaha ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।

- Homa prarambham (होम प्रारम्भम्) –
The homa of śrī pratyaṅgira begins now. The mūla mantra, with svaha appended must be recited as many times as desired. At least 108 or 1008 or more, if time permits. All the ista kamya dravya-s (wish fulfilling fire ritual supplies) can be mixed with clarified butter (ghee) and put in the fire with each invocation of the mūla mantra, at the time of reciting ‘svaha’. Care should be taken NOT to put too much to make the fire humungous or to fill up the homa kunda to the brim. Use best judgment based on the size of the homa kunda.
In general, yellow sesame seeds, lots of red chillis, havan samagri (powder) packets and if available sticks associated with various planets, cow dung cakes etc. may also be used, based on the size of the homa kunda.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat svaha ।
ॐ ह्रीँ क्षँ भक्ष ज्वाला जिह्वे करालदंष्त्रे प्रत्यङ्गिरे क्षँ ह्रीँ हुं फट् स्वाहा ।
- Homanta vidhi (होमन्त विधि) –
After the mūla mantra homa is complete, we need to perform the homa for mahavyahrti and brahmarpana, to appease the realms and the Creator.
- Mahavyahrti homam (महाव्याहृति होमम्) –
Oblations should be offered to the mahavyahrti-s in the following manner –

Devata bali –
Make sacrificial offerings (bali) to please the deities at the end of the homa. The bali is usually a pumpkin or a dry coconut. The bali offering is placed in the homa kunda with the following mantra –
śrī pratyaṅgira devatayai balim samarpayami ।
श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवतायै बलिम् समर्पयामि ।
P. Pūrnahuti (पूर्णाहुति) –
The final offering that is made in the fire is called pūrnahuti, signifying the completion of the homam fire ritual. The following procedures need to be followed –
- Recite the below mantra to begin the pūrnahuti process –
pūrnahutim juhomi ।
Take a cloth, wrap up some fruits, flowers, a dry coconut, some fragrance, sandalwood and any other desired materials. The tied up bundle should be considered a devata and salutations must be offered to it. Offer dhūpa, deepam etc. to it, by displaying the pañca pūja mudras.
- Pour ghee with offering 12 counts of the mūla mantra with svaha appended, on to the pūrnahuti bundle. This is done with the sruci and sruva ladles placed on each other like previously done.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat svaha ।
Now, place the pūrnahuti bundle into the homa kunda, culminating the ritual.
Generally, the fire should become huge at this time. Sometimes, it may not due to the residual and unburnt material inside the homa kunda. We once again offer 25 counts of ajyahuti (selfless) homa offerings of the mūla mantra, with svaha appended.
om̐ hrīm̐ ksam̐ bhaksa jvala jihve karaladamstre pratyaṅgire ksam̐ hrīm̐ hum̐ phat svaha ।

R. Bhūta bali (भूत बलि) –
Sacrificial offerings are also offered to the various bhūta-s. These are the five basic elements of life such as air, ether, water, fire and earth. Also, to all extra-dimensional beings that interfere in our karmas.
A betel leaf with a large red rice mound or a lemon laced with kuṅkum is placed in the North-Eastern side around the homa kunda. The following śloka is recited for the same and water and aksata-s are offered.
ye raudra raudrakarmano raudra sthana nivasinaḥ ।
yoginohyugrarūpaśca gananam adhipaścaye ।
bhūcaraḥ khecaraścaiva ye tisthantyantariksagaḥ ।

ते सर्वे प्रीतमनसो भूत्वा गृह्णम् त्विमम् बलिम् ।
सर्व विघ्नकृद्भ्यः सर्वभूतेभ्यो हुँ फट् स्वाहा ॥
Now get up and offer salutations to the homa kunda and make 11 rounds around it clock-wise. Some ash around the peripheries can be taken and put on the forehead and some of the food offerings (prasadam) can be partaken.
S. Devata udvasanam (देवता उद्वासनम्) –
Now, we bid farewell to the deity śrī pratyaṅgira devi and thank for all the blessings received. The following śloka is recited.
gaccha gaccha bhavat sthanam karyam krtva pratyaṅgira ।
yatra brahmadayodevaḥ naviduḥ paramam padam ॥
गच्छ गच्छ भवत् स्थानम् कार्यम् कृत्वा प्रत्यङ्गिरा ।
यत्र ब्रह्मादयोदेवाः नविदुः परमम् पदम् ॥
T. Agni udvasanam (अग्नि उद्वासनम्) –

yatra brahmadayo devaḥ tatra gaccha hutaśana ॥
गच्छ त्वम् भगवन् वह्ने स्वस्थानम् कुण्डमध्यतः ।
यत्र ब्रह्मादयो देवाः तत्र गच्छ हुताशन ॥
anena maya krtena homena śrī pratyaṅgira devata suprasanno varado bhavatu ।
अनेन मया कृतेन होमेन श्री प्रत्यङ्गिरा देवता सुप्रसन्नो वरदो भवतु ।=
After reciting the above śloka, we put water and aksata-s into the homa kunda.
suvar bhuvar bhūromiti digvimokaḥ ।
सुवर् भुवर् भूरोमिति दिग्विमोकः ।
Finally, we release the bind on all directions and end the pūja.
