This is in regards to Nama #379 Oḍyāṇa-pīṭha-nilayā ओड्याण-पीठ-निलया Oḍyāṇa-pīṭha Is noted by several tantras as one of the 4 major shaktipeethas of the ancient world. It has been a long academic debate on the identification of Uddiyana (also spelt as Oddiyana, Odryana) opinions differ. According to some, it was Udyana in or near Swat Valley or Kashgar on the silk route in Central Asia. Some scholars think that Uddiyana was the region of Urain in the district of Monghyr in Bihar, near Kiul. Haraprasad Sastri, followed by a few other scholars, locate it in Orissa. Yet others are of the opinion that it was a part of Bengal. I was very excited to hear some recent research that Uddiyana is our own Kanchipuram ( Kamakoti peetham). It makes total sense as Oddiyanum is a Tamil world meaning a gold waist ornament or girdle. The Sanskrit name of Uddiyana is Kanchi. Professor Lokesh Chandra has done extensive research pointing to Kanchipuram as the ancient Oddiyana. A great many Buddhist scholars and tantrikas lived in Kanchi during the first millinieum CE who eventually travelled to Tibet and China.

It is in our to do list and will certainly be addressed in due course of time. You may lookup the "lighter" Laghu Ṣoḍhā nyāsa, if that interests you.

I loved the detailed explanations. A good complement to these articles would be to publish the Mahā (higher) Ṣoḍhā Nyāsa and the explanations of the purpose of the invoked deities.

Those who are initiated into Śrī Pratyaṅgirā or Bagalāmukhī mantras may achieve better results than non-initiates. Śrī Vidyā upāsakas (initiates) do not get an automatic grant to recite this kavacam, but they may seek the approval of their gurus to recite the same or simply try it out themselves. There are many other kavacas that they can recite to obtain desired benefits. Both internal and external enemies will be subdued by the power of this kavacam, in due course of time.

Can a Sri Vidhya initiate recite this kavacham? Also one may not have any serious external enemies or may be not facing a grave situation but one's own lifestyle and habits can often cause obstacles in the path of sadhana. So can this kavacham be chanted to gain protection from formidable internal enemies as well?
