Ātmapātrā is meant for the soul, hence there is no question of five pātrā-s. There is no specific rule that prohibits ātmapātrā should not be placed on the floor. A maṇḍala is drawn and only in the maṇḍala, it is placed. Similar is the case with Guru pātrā. But those who regularly perform navāvaraṇa pūjā make these maṇḍala-s engraved either on a wood or metal plate. In a nutshell, ātmapātrā can be placed within the maṇḍala, on the ground or one may choose to use a separate base, which can be placed on the maṇḍala and on this plate ātmapātrā can be placed. In this case, the plate is to be purified with astra mantra.

Please clear the remaining question of five patra with five mantra or one patra with all mantra'some said that atmapatra should always be placed on one small plate, should not be kept on earth directly. is it right rule?

Except iron any other metal can be used for ātmapātrā. Only one ātmapātrā is used irrespective of the mantras. Ātmapātrā is to be taken only in the right hand and not in the left hand. I am not sure about vāmācāra .

Dhyāna verses are available only for a few of these mantras. I will check for this and if available post them here. However, dhyāna verses are available for various krama-s of Kālī such as kādi, hādi, krodhādi, vāgādi, nādi, dādi and praṇavādi krama-s.

Any dhyana verse for respective mantra? dakshina Kali has her own. guhyakali has her forms? so any information about others?

It is perfectly right. The difference is that the kumārī is invoked as Bālā.

If after navavarana puja, not in navaratri, one want to perform kumari puja with bala mantra, it is right or wrong?

This procedure is not there in kumārī pūjā.
