Each of these Vidyas contain voluminous information. Though it may not be practically possible to go into details, I will certainly publish mantra parts. All these mantras have been cursed (if I remember correct, except one)and there are curse removal mantras too. I will do my best in due course. Thank you for your good words.

Yes, you are right. I have corrected the error in the verse. Thank you very much for having brought this error to notice. It should be prāṇānekādaśendriyān as you have mentioned.

Dear Sir In verse 17 of the kavacham: rakṣatād ghoracāmuṇḍā tu kalevaraṁ vahakṣamalavarayūṁ |avyāt sadā bhadrakālī prāṇānekādaśondriyān || (17) The last word "prāṇānekādaśondriyān", shouldn't this be "prāṇānekādaśendriyān" instead? Please let me know. Thank you. Divyya

Sometime ago in a temple when this pandit was fanning Mother Durga I saw her step down and came towards him. I couldn't believe it. It took me a longtime before I ask him if he knew.

After the correction, there is no "sphrom" in the mantra. Mistake in the book should have been a printer's devil. I was struggling to get details of "sphrom" but could not fine one. Now it is clear that there is no "sphrom". Thank you for highlighting this issue.

Thank you Raviji for the correction. Out of curiosity regarding the mantra formations, I wanted to know the effect of the mantra if "sphrem" is used in the first samputa and "sphrom" is used in the second samputa (instead of "sphrem")? Could you please elaborate a little more on this.

In the text I have, in mantra part it is mentioned as sphroṁ (स्फ्रों) but in chapter II where mantra is explained, it is mentioned thus.Bhūtabīja sphreṁ (स्फ्रें) is formed by joining s + ph + ra + e + and bindu (dot) {स् + फ् + र + ए and बिन्दु}. And in subsequent discussions it is only mentioned as sphreṁ (स्फ्रें). Hence sphreṁ (स्फ्रें) appears to be correct. Bhūtabīja represents formation of worldly creation. (There is a reference to Bhūtabīja in Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa.)Hence two sphroṁ-s (स्फ्रों) appearing in this mantra should be replaced by sphreṁ (स्फ्रें)This is the revised and correct mantra:ॐ क्लीं क्रीं हूं क्रों स्फ्रें कामकलाकालि स्फ्रें क्रों हूं क्रीं क्लीं स्वाहा।om klīṁ krīṁ hūṁ kroṁ sphreṁ kāmakalākāli sphreṁ kroṁ hūṁ krīṁ klīṁ svāhā |Though the error is not at my end, still it is a error. Error is regretted.

Thank you Raviji for this wonderful explanation on the bijas. In one edition of Mahakala Samhita Kamakala kali khanda- bija "Sphrem" is written instead of "Sphrom". Which one do you think is the correct bija? Also, can you please elaborate more on sphrem and sphrom bijas?
