Meaning: Salutations to the Divine Mother Śrī Tripura Bhairavī who shines with the brilliance of thousand-fold suns, adorned in fine linen and silk garments and a garland of skulls. Her breasts are smeared with red vermilion/sandalwood paste and She appears red in complexion. She holds in Her four lotus like arms – a rosary and a book on the upper arms and in Her lower arms – the wish granting Vara mudrā and the fear dispelling Abhaya mudrā. She is three-eyed and Her face is astonishingly stunning like a blooming lotus. She wears a red diadem with a crescent moon adorning it and She is seated upon a blooming red lotus.

 

The red complexion denotes Her disposition and passion towards the Creation and the Rajasic tattva. The skull-garland denotes life and sentient beings alongside the insentient. The rosary beads denote the sound vibration mātṛkā śaktis, the book denotes all knowledge to dispel ignorance of our true purpose, the Vara mudrā denotes Her grace in fulfilling all our wishes and the Abhaya mudrā dispels all fears and provides us the assurance of Her unassailable protection at all times! The three-eyes denote the Sun, Moon and Fire (Sūrya, Candra and Agni) maṇḍalas and their attribute śaktis. She is Tripura Sundarī and is unmatched and immeasurable in beauty. The crown signifies Her status as the Divine Supreme and the crescent moon denotes the descent of the super-consciousness into the material realm.

14. Trykṣara Pañcakūṭa Śrī Tripurabhairavi Mantraḥ (त्र्य्क्षर पञ्चकूट श्री त्रिपुरभैरवि मन्त्रः) –

hsraim̐ hsklrīm̐ hsraum̐ḥ

ह्स्रैँ ह्स्क्ल्रीँ ह्स्रौँः

 

hsraim̐ hsklrīm̐ hssrauḥ

ह्स्रैँ ह्स्क्ल्रीँ ह्स्स्रौः

 

The 3 lettered Śrī Vidyā Pañcakūṭa Śrī Tripurabhairavi Mahāmantraḥ should be recited at least 108 times. Initiation is required.

 

Meaning -

There are five kūṭa-s (sections) to this Trykṣara Pañcakūṭa Śrī Tripurabhairavi mantra. The mantra is an extension of Śrī Vidyā Bālā Mantra “aim̐ klīm̐ sauḥ”, which is derived from the Śuddhavidyā Manonmanī mantra - “aim̐ klīm̐ sauḥ”. Śrī Tripura Bhairavī denotes the Ātma Tattva, Śrī Bālā denotes the Vidyā Tattva and Śrī Manonmaṇi Śuddhavidyā denotes the Śiva tattva. The letter ‘ha’ denotes the Sūrya Maṇḍala and its śaktis, ‘sa’ denotes Candra Maṇḍala and its śaktis and ‘ra’ denotes the Agni Maṇḍala and its śaktis. The mantra helps us ascend the Ātma tattva through the three maṇḍala śaktis and with the help of the Bālā mantra, the five kañcukās and three malas of the Vidyā tattva are also removed, to identify ourselves with the Puruṣa and then ascend to the Śiva tattva through the Śuddhamanonmaṇi mantra.

 

Revered commenter Tivra writes – “Tripurabhairavī's strong connection with the Hādi Vidyā is because of the "ha-sa" seeds at the beginning of her Mantra. And her connection with Nandikēśvara's Sādi Vidyā is because of the "ra" seed in her Mantra, which indicates Īśvara Tattva, one who governs without losing Unity. She is linked to the Kādi Vidyā because Bālā and Śuddhavidyā Manonmanī are within her Mantra. Thus, all of this is contained in her mantra: hs-r-aim̐ hs-kl-r-īm̐ hs-s-r-auḥ. And you will realize that the seed that ignites and unlocks the Śuddhavidyā Manonmanī is "ra" and is contained in Tripurabhairavī's Mantra: raim̐ rīm̐ rauḥ. Therefore, absolutely all of this is in: hsraim̐ hsklrīm̐ hssrauḥ. She basically awakens the Caitya Puruṣa and propels it towards all the other Puruṣa, unlocking the maximum potential of all lineages that only a human soul can achieve.”
