18. लयाङ्ग पूजा layāṅga pūjā

The universe originates from Bindu and dissolves into Bindu. Keeping this philosophy in mind, layāṅga pūjā is done. Bindu is worshiped three times at this point.

मूलं (mūlamantra) – अखिलाण्डकोटि ब्रह्माण्डनायकि श्री राजराजेश्वरी ललितामहात्रिपुरसुन्दरी पराभट्टरिका महादेव्याः प्राकाश विमर्श महामाया स्वरूपिनि श्री पादुकां पूजयामि तर्पयामि नमः॥

mūlaṁ (mūlamantra) - akhilāṇḍakoṭi brahmāṇḍanāyaki śrī rājarājeśvarī lalitāmahātripurasundarī parābhaṭṭarikā mahādevyāḥ prākāśa vimarśa mahāmāyā svarūpini śrī pādukāṁ pūjayāmi tarpayāmi namaḥ ||

19. षडङ्गार्चनम् ṣaḍaṅgārcanam:

This is to be done at the bindu.

हृदयशक्ति शिरःशक्ति शिखाशक्ति कवचशक्ति नेत्रशक्ति अस्त्रशक्ति श्रीपादुकां पूजयामि तर्पयामि नमः॥

hṛdayaśakti śiraḥśakti śikhāśakti kavacaśakti netraśakti astraśakti śrīpādukāṁ pūjayāmi tarpayāmi namaḥ ||

20. Worship of tithi nityādevī-s:

To begin with, Mahānityādevī is to be worshiped in the bindu and pūjanaṁ and tarpaṇaṁ should be made three times.

This should be followed by pūjanaṁ and tarpaṇaṁ for three times for the nityādevī presiding over the particular day in which navāvaraṇa pūjā is performed. Let us take an example of fifth lunar day of śuklapakṣa (waxing moon), which is known as pañcamī tithi and śuklapakṣa pañcamī tithi is presided over by Vahnivāsinī nityādevī. She is posited in the above image in the pace marked as 5. The same nityādevī viz. Vahnivāsinī nityādevī is worshiped in the same place during kṛṣṇapakṣa (waning moon) pañcamī tithi; the only difference is that she is worshiped as the fifth nityādevī during śuklapakṣa pañcamī and as the eleventh nityādevī during kṛṣṇapakṣa pañcamī. All the nityādevī-s continue to exist in the same place with the same bījākṣara-s. This also signifies the expansion of kalā-s during śuklapakṣa and contraction of kalā-s during kṛṣṇapakṣa.

4 - मूलं । अः श्री ललितामहानित्या श्री पादुकां पूजयामि तर्पयामि नमः॥

4 - mūlaṁ | aḥ śrī lalitāmahānityā śrī pādukāṁ pūjayāmi tarpayāmi namaḥ ||

Bījākṣara-s and the names of thiti nityādevī-s are given here. While performing pūjanaṁ and tarpaṇaṁ, 4 is to be prefixed and nityā and śrī pādukāṁ pūjayāmi tarpāmi namaḥ is to be suffixed. Following is the example.

ॐ ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं वह्निवासिनी नित्या श्री पादुकां पूजयामि तर्पामि नमः॥
