Namaste Raviji or Krishnaji, I want to know if I can add the atma-bija to this Matangi Kavacham. I would really like to receive initiation in this mantra. Will it be possible? Who can I talk to about this? I'm in Argentina. I guess there's no Sri Vidya lineage here. Thank you very much for your guidance. Harih Om Tat Sat

1. You are right Max! He is holding a lotus and a water lily. His wife Siddhalakṣmi is also holding lotuses and we can also interpret that Her hands are lotus like. The latter view is rejected by many. The point here is that the lotuses signify evolved consciousness, which is what He's embracing. When we evolve and raise our consciousness to a substantially higher spiritual levels, we come under His embrace. 2. The elephant trunk is also correct. He uses that to raise the pot of abundance and shower it upon His devotees. Significance of the elephant is wealth and abundance. This would be the best interpretation. 3. Overall, the dhyāna śloka generates this meaning. Since they're worded in Sanskrit, we sometimes have to jumble the words to get the correct meaning. This is also very common in tantra, to mislead non-initiates, by adding mantroddhāra verses, which when interpreted by their normal meanings don't make any sense, but seen esoterically as mantra derivations, give us a completely different meaning. It is very hard to find the proper meanings for many verses laden with secrets, as their meanings are either fully lost or simply hidden by practitioners who do not wish to share these secrets, to maintain their secrecy etc.

Thank you so much for the break down. I have the following follow up questions. 1) It seems that there are two lotuses mentioned in his possession, and it's perhaps the wrong translation on my part: abja and ambhoruhaḥ. I would assume that one of them has to be a water lilly? Is that correct. The third mentioning of a lotus (sapadma-karayā), is what his wife is holding, is that correct? 2) My other question is regarding this phrase "prodyat karāmbhoruhaḥ". Even though it says here "kara", my understanding is that it's a synonym for the elephant trunk; is that correct? 3) And finally the line "viśva utpatti vipatti saṁsthitikaro" As a whole does it mean "cause of creation sustaining and annihilation of the universe"? It's kind of hard to get to that translation given that "vipatti = obstacles. Am I reading it correctly? Full translation: bījapūra >> pomegrante gadekṣu >> a club kārmukarujā >> sugarcane bow cakrābja >> chakra; abja = lotus pāśotpala >> rope vrīhyagra >> rice plant svaviṣāṇa >> his own broken tusk ratna kalaśa >> a pot of jewels prodyat >> lift up karāmbhoruhaḥ >> kara - hand, ambhoruhaḥ – lotus dhyeyo >> meditate vallabhayā >> wife sapadma-karayā >> sapadma - lotus like; karayā = hands śliṣṭo >> embraced jvalad >> blazing bhūṣayā >> adorned viśvotpatti >> viśva = universe; utpatti = origin vipatti >> obstacles saṁsthitikaro >> established vigneśa >> master of difficulties iṣṭārthadaḥ >> the one who fulfills all the desires

prodyat = lift up kara = hand  ambhoruhaḥ = lotus dheyo = meditate sapadma = lotus like karayā = hands śliṣṭo = embraced jvalad = blazing bhūṣayā = adorned viśva = universe utpatti = origin vipatti = obstacles saṁsthitikaro = established
