It can be used for any homa. There may be some specific details for a particular deity, which can be learnt from the initiating guru and/or the appropriate tantra manuals.

Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra is best approached through a Śrīvidyā krama starting with Mahāgaṇapati and Bālā mantra and progressing gradually to Pañcadaśī, Śyāmalā and Vārahī before getting to the Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra. This is a safer approach. There are Khaḍgamālās that also need to be recited for every deity from time to time.

Sir, does this procedure apply to Gayathri japa homa also? (After avani avittam)

What is given to you is correct, please chant with om included. Also you should follow what your Guru has given. Avoid reading outside resources as most of them are confusing in nature

Namaskaram Guruji, I was initiated into chandi mantra on Guru Purnima from a Kalabhairava Guruji. But I was given including OM in the beginning of Mantra. Few are saying OM is not needed. I am utterly confused whether to chant using OM or not. Please clarify guruji. OM AIM HREEM KLEEM CHAMUNDAIYE VICCHE.

You are correct in your interpretation. Without Devi's grace and will, the Creation Itself will not manifest. It is She alone who appears as both Śiva and Śakti. In this context, the seeding of life on Earth is being signified by the victory of Manmatha to convince Śiva and Śakti to come together on the ideal conditions prevalent on the planet Earth, with its optimum distance from the Sun and the Moon. Śiva is the constituent of the life sustaining conditions of Earth and Śakti is the ocean of consciousness that permeates the Earth due to the love and passion ignited by Manmatha to create life.

I like this verse. Is it correct analysis in that this verse is saying it is the power of Devi being utilized? Devi’s face is the “chariot”. Manmatha rides this chariot into battle with Lord Shiva. Therefore Manmatha “rides” or “uses” the “face” of Devi to fight Shiva. In other words, Manmatha is only able to take on Shiva (and win), because he has Devi on his side, so to speak. Is this correct? Is this 59th verse extolling the same meaning as verse 5? Vishnu and Manmatha received beautiful looks by only praying to Devi. And verse 59 says Manmatha uses Devi’s face (or essentially her power/beauty) to fight Shiva. Are both verses essentially saying that asking for blessing or benefits, one should pray to Devi?
