॥ Sri Prathyangira Devi Avarana Puja Sanskrit and English ॥
॥ 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 center, covered by other deities. The deities of the coverings (avarana-s), are usually at the corners or centers, of intersecting geometric figures. The pītha (pedestal) and avarana puja-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.
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. Another viśesa arghya (special water container) vessel should also be kept ready for the tarpana (oblation) ritual. Keep some flower petals, kumkum (red powder), clarified butter or ghee, clean cloth and some unbroken rice (aksata-s) ready as well. A spoon (uttarani), 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. Internal worship can also be done by those, who’re unable to perform in a ritualistic manner. A lamp can be lit and incense shown to the deity as part of the puja ritual.
॥ Yantra Pranapratistha Vidhih ( यन्त्र प्राणप्रतिष्ठाविधिः ) ॥
This is a one-time activity done to activate the Yantra or to infuse the Yantra with the Prana. Place the yantra on a brass plate/mug and wash (abhisekam) the yantra with ghee (clarified butter) and milk or with the five-ingredient pañcamrta. Scrub with a clean cloth.
Recite the following mantras –
om aim̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐ pratyaṅgire mama raksa raksa mama śatrūn bhaksa bhaksa svaha asurekhe vajrarekhe hum̐ phat svaha ।
ॐ ऐँ ह्रीँ श्रीँ प्रत्यङ्गिरे मम रक्ष रक्ष मम शत्रून् भक्ष भक्ष स्वाहा आसुरेखे वज्ररेखे हुँ फट् स्वाहा ।
Place the yantra in the center of the pītha (pedestal) for the pratistha (installation of the yantra). For infusing life (prana pratistha) into the yantra, the following mantras need to be recited –
om am̐ hrīm̐ krom̐ yam̐ ram̐ lam̐ vam̐ śam̐ sam̐ sam̐ ham̐ ḻam̐ ksam̐ so’ham hamsaḥ śrīmadpratyaṅgiradevataya bindu-trikonasta-konastadala-trivrtta-bhūpura-trayatmaka yantrasya sajīvavaṅmanaścaksuḥ śrotraghranapranaḥ ihagatya sukham ciram tisthantu svaha ।
