Both mantras can be considered to be at par with each other. Their power cannot be measured. As is always the case with Tantric mantras, a proper initiation from a skilled and practicing guru is a must. Unless faced with extremely dangerous and life threatening situations, use of such mantras is not warranted, it is better NOT to approach a practicing guru to obtain the same for moderate crises and/or regular needs. --Krishna.

Krishna, I have two questions. 1 - Is this mantra associated with Samhāriṇī Kṛtyā? The dissolving power of Lord Aghora (one of the five faces of Śiva). 2 - Is this mantra more severe than the mantra of Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā?

There is no absolute diktat that specifies that the Gāyatrī mantras of various deities should have the customary 24 letters. If we see the regular Gāyatrī mantra, it has 23 characters only, but based on the svara and the pronunciation of the word "vareṇyam", it is counted as 4 letters instead of 3. Such considerations could also be relevant for other deity Gāyatrī mantras or the chandas itself could be "Nicṛd Gāyatrī" meaning that it is close to the 24 letter specification but not exact. Also, you may notice that there are single letter mantras that have the Chandas as Gāyatrī, which makes no sense when the 24 or close to 24 rule is applied. There is an entire class of Gāyatrī and various other chandas specified in some scriptures that deal with the chandas aspect and I am NOT an expert to clearly answer these questions, as I have not studied those scriptures nor do I have any knowledge or training in music, svara and related subjects, where chandas is primarily applied. --Krishna.

She is invoked for all material and spiritual desires and is considered as one of the Mahāvidyās per some sources and scriptures. There is an entire pañcaśati with dikbandhana mantras invoking various deities in Her worship procedures. --Krishna.

I have made the correction. Thank you for pointing out the error. --Krishna.

Namaste. The correct one is "karāladaṃṣtre" or "karāḻadaṃṣṭre"?

Is vanadurga mantra invoked only to gain protection from wild animals and enemies in forests and isolated places? or it has more significance? Please enlighten on this
