devīṃ baddhahimāṃśu raktamukuṭāṃ vande'ravinda sthitām ॥ 2 ॥

उद्यत्भानु सहस्रकान्तिमरुण क्षौमां शिरोमालिकाम् ।

रक्तालिप्त पयोधरां जपवटीं विद्यामभीतिं वरम् ॥ १ ॥

देवीं बद्धहिमांशु रक्तमुकुटां वन्देऽरविन्द स्थिताम् ॥ २ ॥

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.”

Namaste, this mantra was already mentioned by Shri Raviji in his Tripur Bhairavi article under the Dasa Mahavidya series, if I am not wrong.

Krishna

Namaste. You are correct. The same mantra is also referenced in the Tripura Kavacam article also. This is the complete japa vidhi for the mantra to kick start Śrī Vidyā and more specifically to overcome all the graha badha (malefic effects of planets and stars on a native's horoscope). Note that Tripura Bhairavi denotes the ascendant lagna in our native charts. If we take Tantrarāja Tantra, then Dakṣiṇakāli sādhana is recommended as a precursor to Śrī Vidyā also.

Wow. thank you krishna ji properly publishing this Mantra, also I want to point out that according to tivra ji the puruscaran is closed to 10 million japa as he mention in his comment.

Krishna
April 10, 2026 01:04 AM

Thank you for the information Dear Kashik. I have kept it at more manageable levels. But yes, for those looking at opening up all the tattvas and witnessing an incredible change in their lives, the 10 million puraścaraṇa might be more suitable. Those who can contemplate deeper into the tattvas and the maṇḍala śaktis may witness some changes even with 10,000 japa prodding them to continue and grow higher in all aspects of life.

Namste krishna ji can please also answer my previous question regarding Lalita trishati

Krishna
April 10, 2026 04:04 PM

It is for those who are reciting the Pañcadaśī and its variants. Each letter of the Pañcadaśī is represented in the nāmas of the triśati. I do not know the other details that you are referring to. It is quite clear and well known that this stotra is only for the advanced Śrī Vidyā sādhakas practicing these higher mantras. The same applies to the Śrī Lalitā Sahasranāma as well.

Hello, everyone! I’d like to ask for your help. A woman I know has had a criminal case fabricated against her, and they want to send her to prison for eight years. It’s a long story, but to put it briefly, one woman was stealing knowledge from my friend, and when she started talking about it, the first woman—through her husband, who works in government—decided to lock my friend up. So she wouldn’t say that she was stealing her posts on the Internet—her knowledge. And because of hatred toward my friend, there are such evil people. Her lawyer isn’t defending her; instead, he’s doing everything he can to ensure she loses the case, and they won’t let her replace him. The judges, witnesses, and prosecutors have all been bribed in advance. The situation is very bad because she doesn’t have a husband, and she has a small child who needs constant care. We need to take action by any means necessary. What mantra, stotra should she chant? Maybe someone can suggest something, some specific practice. For example, the Raja Pada Stotra Mantra, the Nrisimha Mantra (32 letters), Bagalamukhi, the Pratyangira Mantra, or perhaps the Joti Mantra. But unfortunately, she doesn’t have much time for sadhana. And these people who are judging her—the Khasids—use their own magic, and they hold all the court hearings on the 13th of the month and when the woman is menstruating. I would be very grateful for your answers.

Hello Богдан(Bogdan). I would suggest doing 32 names devi durga as i myself had done it 1 full mala while intensely focusing on devi durga. I've it during many troubling time when i thought this was the end. I should also mention that i received them from my guru so potency can vary. Second thing come to my mind is 48 names of guhyakali durga that was shared by tripuraghana ji heres the link : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ibA0kZCMkQMek3MMfX6e3DcNkknRExYRpp5XeeVyaTo/edit?usp=drivesdk. Last resort i see is pratyangira stavaraj shared by tripuraghana/ jothi ji heres the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NWDDjVauHEdD5uLBdKMB0BMyi6gutogyXWNY_zx-ohM/edit?usp=drivesdk. All these are made to recited in emergency. The last two are also available in comment section.
