गान्धर्व तन्त्र (शैव-शाक्त आगम - मन्त्र-रहस्य, यन्त्र एवं देवतोपासना सटीक)

According to the real meaning the practitioner has to merge himself in the Transcendental Self. 30th CHAPTER The three parts of the incantation of Devī known by the terms Vāgbhava, Kāmarāja and Śakti together with the Hamsa-mantra are described in this chapter. ह and स of हंस are said to be representative of the vital breath and the soul, existence and intelligence, Śiva and Śakti. This mantra is called Ajapā because it is not to be muttered but to be meditated upon so much so that the practitioner is to realize his unity with the Transcendental Self. Of the Mātṛkā of the Sanskrit alphabet, vowels constitute the breath, and Bindu and Visarga consciousness. Every incantation becomes lifeless as it were, if not possessing Bindu, Visarga, ह, स and ई श्रीं ह्रीं. हंस ऐँ क्लीं सौः ह्रीँश्रीँ is supposed to vitalise every mantra as do Bodhinī and Dīpinī. Meditation on Kuṇḍalinī in the form of a flame, if accompanied by the 3 Kūṭas above referred to, leads the practitioner to acquire respectively extraordinary wisdom, power of charming and immunity from the effect of poison. The meaning of Kāmakalā and what it stands for and other details regarding the same are given at the end of the chapter.
