Literally it can be translated as "Jewel crown of knowledge". Here knowledge refers to knowledge of Vedanta.

The Divine Mother Sumukhi mantra can be recited with the kavacam. I would suggest getting an initiation for the mantra or at least following all the procedures for self-initiation, in the event a suitable guru is not available. The consort of Lord Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati is Hastipiśāci alias Ucchiṣṭa Caṇḍālinī, also called as Sumukhi, the pleasing one. Sumukhi Devi is an aspect of the Divine Mother Mātaṅgī. When Lord Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati is depicted as blue in color, He is paired with Nīlasarasvati, an aspect of Tārā Devi. It is to be noted that in all these aspects, Lord Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati is seen as the God-head and equated with Lord Śiva.
The worship of both Sumukhi Devi and Lord Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati have fewer rituals and can fructify with utmost devotion alone.

Sir,
Thanks for posting this kavacham. I wanted to know whether we can also start chanting Sumukhi mantra along with kavacham also please let us know how are matangi devi and ucchishta ganapati related to each other as in both the Mantras ucchishta and Pisa chini are used also they don't have any regulation for chanting the Mantras. Please provide us the relation between both forms of worship
Thanks and Regards Krishnakant

1. I would suggest referring to any good published work with translation of the tantric text śāradā tilakam. The laghu mantra is "om̐ jūm̐ saḥ". The other mantra that you are referring to, seems to be a variation of the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra, which is found in the Āmnāya Mandāraṃ. We have mentioned it in this post. The full mantra can be posted if you so desire. Several variations of the same mantra exist in many texts. You may also refer to śrīvidyārṇava tantram for other variations. 2. Both 'haum̐' and 'hraum̐' are Lord Śiva bīja-s and pretty much deliver the exact same result. The letter 'ha' represents Lord Śiva signifying spiritual elevation, purity in mind and detachment from senses. The letter 'au' is Anugraha meaning blessings from the divine and 'm̐' is nāda-bindu dispelling sorrow. Haum̐ therefore grants us liberation from the cycle of life and death and in this context is victory over death itself, as one is not reborn to die again. For hraum̐, the letter 'ra' represents illumination and fire and by this bīja, one tends to burn the karmas at a faster rate to reach the goal of liberation.

Thanks Krishnaji. Nice to see the information on sources and different versions.
Can you also
1) Please provide correct vidhi from any reputed publisher/source for Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra sadhana with samput of Laghu Mrityunjaya Mantra? I am referring to
"Om Houm Joom Saha Om Bhoor Bhuvah Swah
Om Tryambakam Yajaamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvaarukamiv Bandhanaan Mrityormuksheeya Maamritaat
Om Swah Bhuvah Bhooh Om Sah Joom Houm Om"
2) Please let us know difference between "Om Houm Joom Saha" and "Om Hroum Joom Saha"? I meant between Houm and Hroum?

Yes, by worshipping Her, She makes us to perform good karmas. Law of karma is the ultimate.

But it is stated that Mother Lalitha burns up our bad karma by worshiping her by way of reciting shahasranama japa and other good karma. So how can you say nothing can override bad karma?

Lord Śiva in His aspect as the mightiest and most powerful Śarabheśvara is referred as Pakṣirāja, meaning king of birds.
A bird takes flight with the help of it's wings, which in the case of Lord Śarabheśvara are Goddesses Śūlini and Pratyaṅgira.
Śūlini Devi is the triad busting aspect of the Divine Mother Śakti and Pratyaṅgira Devi consumes all the ego, pride and all the inner and outer evils.
Both the wings assist in bringing the individual soul to the universal consciousness by removing the veil of Māya and revealing our true inner nature as pure consciousness.
The word pakṣa means taking a side, while the word bhakṣa means eating or consuming. In the context of the mantra, Śrī Pratyaṅgira Devi is consuming our inner and outer enemies and freeing us up from the cosmic veil.
The mantra mentioned above is correct and is a common term in Kalī Devi mantras, as She is the annihilator.

Do you think the word Bhaksha should be replaced by Paksha which means that The Goddess is the wing of the bird form of Shree veera Sarabeshwara ?
