Krishnaji, I found a really small work called “Sumukhi Upanishad” at the Sanskrit documents site. My Sanskrit is not that good, Appreciate your kind review of the link and sharing the English meaning if possible. Hope I am not bothering you. Thanks https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_upanishhat/sumukhyupAniShat.html

Krishnaji, The title says Ātmaśatakam, Nirvānaśatakam, आत्मशतकम्, निर्वानशतकम्) In prologue too it says Ātmaśatakam and Nirvānaśatakam I think Shatakam should be replaced with Shatkam to make it Ātmaṣaṭkaṃ, Nirvānaṣaṭkaṃ,आत्मषट्कं, and निर्वानषट्कं Last line correctly says आत्मषट्कं, Ātmaṣaṭkaṃ

Thanks a lot Krishnaji. Once you confirmed नियोजिताः is correct version, its नियोजिताः for me. Reason I was cross checking with you is, it was नियोजताः here on manblunder before. Few days ago I noticed this http://manblunder-discussion-forum.4718.n7.nabble.com/Changes-to-Sri-Baglamukhi-Pratyangira-Kavacham-td1067.html. I realized you changed recently to नियोजिताः after a request for the same. I then searched Sanskrit dictionaries, googled/searched on YouTube and found नियोजताः . I tried to check in Rudrayamala Tantra but was unable to locate it. Confused, I thought I will seek your guidance given I recite this Kavacham 100 times a day I wanted to make sure its the correct version. Please note, Vernacular versions here on manblunder continue to say नियोजताः which might need updating. Thanks again for clarifications, insights and guidance. .

1. What I have specified is a proper word and maybe correct. If you find a more profound meaning and explanation of 'नियोजताः', then I would advice that you go for it. The word I specified niyojitāḥ (नियोजिताः) means "directed towards" and in this context, the Yogiṇīs are directed towards our enemies to fight and vanquish them. 2. These are Yogiṇīs associated with all the aforementioned deities and they serve them. From our perspective, these śaktis remove our misery and help ward off all dangers through their invincible protection. I am not much aware of the intricacies of these śaktis and their detailed descriptions in the tantras. Those who know more information, are kindly requested to provide the same in the comments section.

There is no such homa to my knowledge. If there is, then it could be associated with the chanting of the Āvaraṇa deity names in the homam.

It should be done during the mantra japa in my opinion. I followed this process during the puraścaraṇa of His mantras. I printed the yantra that was a geometrical design copy at that time. Years later we did a proper yantra using Mandalamaker and added the deity names etc. You may print out the yantra that we have provided, laminate and do the āvaraṇa pūja. I believe similar metal plate yantras are widely available in the market, if you choose to purchase them. I have not seen any metal plate yantra with the deity names for Śrī Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati.

Krishnaji, When is the appropriate time to take up the Uucchistha Ganapati yantra pooja? After repetition of the mula mantra for a couple of months ( several thousand repetitions ) OR can it be taken up sooner? I am based in the USA and not able to find the yantra in the market. Any recommendation on how to acquire it? Would a paper printout or a fabric print work instead? Or do we have to get this into a metallic format? Thanks for your guidance.

Salutations to you too Krishnaji. Thanks for your kind words. It was indeed encouraging to me. Please provide couple of clarifications at your convenience 1) in Dhyana Shlokam above, you have written as "नियोजिताः" Many sources have it as नियोजताः Ex:https://bit.ly/38uyFQM Which one is correct from authentic Tantra? What does it mean? 2) This Kavacham invokes shaktis: भ्रामरी , स्तभिनी ,क्षोभिणी ,मोहिनी , सम्हारिणी ,द्राविणी ,जृम्भिणी and रौद्ररूपिणी. 7 of the same Shaktis are invoked in Sri Tara Pratyangira Kavacham. Also, Sri Arya Dwishati in 69th Sloka talks about these very same Shaktis (refers as जम्भिन्याद्याः) as Sri Varahi parivara devatas. Who are these Shaktis? Are they Parivara Devatas of Sri Baglamukhi, Sri Tara, Sri Pratyangira & also Sri Varahi? From their names its clear what they do but would like to know more information about who they are, any other information about them from our Tantras/Sciptures? Thank you.
