There isn't one as yet. We can definitely hope to see in the coming years. I would recommend sites like Tripuratalling.com and their publications for understanding the rituals of tantra. Mantra Maharṇava is very similar to Mantra Mahodadhi, which has a couple of English Translations. The one by Shri Ram Kumar Rai is the most comprehensive one. His translation of the Mantra Maharṇava in Hindi is also exemplary and highly regarded.

Please go through the comments of Shri Jothi Agaval and Shri Tripuraghna for more details on the various forms of the Divine Mother Pratyaṅgirā.

Ideally, it is for those who are initiated into the Siddhilakṣmī mantras. I would not suggest daily reading, as it amounts to the same thing as chanting it. You may seek an initiation into the said mantras and then combine this stotram into your practice.

You can buy knotted grass rings in the market and use them instead of making them as instructed. You can consult an expert who performs the homams on a regular basis, to get more first hand knowledge.

Humble Pranaams Krishnaji! After reading about Maa Pratyangira on this site & whereever possible, I was able to understand that Maha Pratyangira Devi is the source form of all the other forms like Pratyangira, Narayani Pratyangira, Vipreet Pratyangira and so on as various forms of Maa. But then I came across Maha Vipreet Pratyangira. Where does that form come from? Kindly clear this doubt.

Humble Pranaams to you Krishnaji! Is just reading this Stotram on a daily basis allowed? I did it by chance for 2 nights - First as it appeared in the comment section & then this article the next night. I then stopped in thinking about the warning mentioned at the top. Thought it better to ask you before doing it. It is so beautiful, the way the attributed of Maa Pratyangira is explained, it just fills you with wonderment! But I want to be sure it is allowed. Just reading & absolutely no uchcharan.Is it allowed?

The shatchakra japam sadhana is a very advanced sadhana and is an authentic practice perscribed by tantra. However it is a very advanced practice. Your power of visualization must be very strong. Not only must you have gained the ability to internally view each chakra but you must be able to see the Sanskrit bijas on each petal. Only then can you perform this sadhana. Instead it is best to meditate on the chakra associated with the devata while chanting. For example, if you are doing Sri Mahaganapati, start with visualizing a red light at muladhara chakra. In time the chakra will emerge from the light and you'll see it moving. This is the beginning. After some time with this you can begin shatchakra japam. Jai Ambe Jai Gurudev

It is best to put asside whatever you've read about the fruits of sadhana. Seeking results is like viewing God as a business man who sells you fruit based on some sort of payment. Here in this life everything we do is seva and seva only. Your mantra that your guru gave you is a prayer. You chant because you love God. You seek only to dissolve into God. Nothing else! Please continue with your upasana.
