Is Variation 1 of the mantra more effective and powerful than the shorter original mantra “om̐ jvala jvala śūlinī duṣṭagrahaṃ hum̐ phaṭ svāhā ।”. I am trying to choose between them. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks again

Sir, I believe इष्काम्यार्थसिद्धिप्रदायिनि is to be corrected to iṣṭakāmyārthasiddhipradāyini. Thank you.

The Puraścaraṇa is 10,000 japa as listed in the bottom of the article. Initiation is suggested for all ugra forms of Devi and any tantric mantra in general.

Dear Raviji, Should the unblocking mantra be chanted for 108 times only once or till the block is successfully removed? Many thanks for the clarification.

The earlier Gāṇapatya Tantras were not very elaborate on pātrasthāpanā, the pinnacle of which is Viṣēśārghya and its use. The concept of Viṣēśārghya is originally from Kaula Tantras such as Yoginījālaśambhara, which has been adopted by various other sects in numerous forms. As most Kaulas or upāsakas of Dēvī are also frequently worshipers of Vināyaka as well, it seems natural that these procedures have been adopted by Gāṇapatya procedures as well. That said, the procedure of pātrasthāpanā is very complex and intricate and a core part of Tāntrika saparyā. Generally, the procedures are not different based on the deities but based on the school. Yes, pañcaśuddhi may be specific in case of Tārā, but the major differences lie elsewhere. In the case of śrīvidyā, the procedures differ between the Mālinī and Madhumatī krama. They also differ in the case of Mahāvidyā deities based on Kērala, Kāśmīra, and Kāmarūpācāra. They can also be different based on sampradaya such as Hayagrīva, Dakṣiṇāmūrti or ānandabhairava. Finally, the components, pātra, dravya, śuddhi, viniyōga - also depend on the purpose of the ritual.

There maybe some differences in the arghya processes for different deities, but you may follow the standard process also for all deities. It is well documented in the Mantra Mahodadhi as well. You can use the same process of the arghya sthāpana, as used in Vallabha Gaṇapati pūja.
