Study note
Word breakdown
- महामन्त्रराजान्तबीजं पराख्यं
- The seed at the end of the king of great mantras, called Para,
- स्वतो न्यस्तबिन्दु स्वयं न्यस्तहार्दम् ।
- with bindu placed of itself, heart-bindu placed by itself,
- भवद्वक्त्रवक्षोजगुह्याभिधानं
- named as face, breast, and secret form -
- स्वरूपं सकृद्भावयेत्स त्वमेव
- whoever meditates once on that form becomes you yourself.
The Para-bija mapped on face, breast, and guhya is the Devi's own body of sound. To meditate the mantra-body is to discover that the worshipper and the worshipped are not two.
