That's a lie. There are no pronunciation errors in the IAST transliteration. The Mātṛkas 'aim̐' and 'em̐' achieve the same goals. It is the same phenomenon that occurs with the Mātṛkas 'aum̐' and 'om̐'. It's the same thing as choosing to hold two flowers in each of your hands or holding the same two flowers in one hand. Regardless of the choice, you will be holding the same flowers in your hand.

If, while reciting this or similar stotram made available on manblunder, one occasionally pauses for maybe 6-24 seconds to glance over the meanings of the bījas, does the recitation lose effectiveness due to the disruption?

Thank you Krishnaji for your reply! How can I get or where can I get proper initiation? I plan to enter Sanyasa after retirement & completing other responsibilties. Can you guide me to where I can go?

This may be something that is meant to be kept secret during this Yuga, but perhaps there’s just a discrepancy of matter of taste in pronunciation of the IAST yai or ai at the end of divine names. I’ve learned, to my frustration, that my initiator of Śrī Candi Navaksari mantra, is aware of this pronunciation discrepancy, but does not correct it initially but instead leaves sadhakas to discover it for themselves before offering serious transfer of energy and sharing secret jnana. Perhaps I am being careless & immature here. What does the community think about this?

Thank you for pointing out the error. I have corrected it in the document.

In nāma 3, is the merger referred to which is called as laya, synonymous with what is known as sāyujya moksha, meaning to (I think) merge into and become one with the deity?

Namaskaram. In part 10, aṅganyāsaḥ, it appears maybe that mantras 4 & 5 are switched up. This observation is based on the movements not matching the words

This is one version of it. There may be others that we are not aware. Also please note that these mantras are ineffective without a proper initiation and japa vidhi.

In this mantra why the samputikarana is not done as mirror image? is this correct version?

Namaskaram. Regarding the pronunciation of ह्स्ख्फ्रेँ, the e (IAST) sound is pronounced how long, relative to say, one or two matras? Just today I was reading a bhairavite text stating that in the bija hskhprem, the e is pronounced short, like perhaps the length a gets (IAST), in contrast to the length ā gets (IAST). What is the proper length relative to the possible lengths of vowel utterance duration?
