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 ?

Sure, sir. Thank you. I got confused between लि and ली. Except in the main mantra everywhere it is mentioned ली.

It has been encoded as per the tantra. Please follow as it is, especially the mantra.

Understood, I will follow Kara and anga nyasas. May I know if we need to add one more ली in कामकलाकाली करतलकरपृष्ठाभ्यां नमः? Also, in the mantra is is mentioned कामकलाकालि , so do we need to change it to ली as well? Thank you again.

It is a general rule and there are exceptions, especially with tantric mantras. Many tantric mantras do not have om̐ at the beginning and therefore require initiation and other rituals as mentioned before, to awaken the mantra. Irrespective of these rituals, one's own dedication towards mantra japa is very essential to see any meaningful results.

This is a tantric mantra that does not start with om̐. I would strongly suggest to use the nyāsa-s at least the kara and aṅga. After performing about 30,000 japa or after aligning with breath, one can skip if time does not allow it. I would however strongly suggest following the prescribed method to protect oneself, from any harm and obstacles towards mantra japa. In your case, Saubhāgya Pañcadaśi seems to be working well. I would suggest that you stick to the same mantra. There is no need to go for other mantras. The option is however left to you. I normally don't suggest anyone to practice more than one mantra at a time, although many continue to do so, either openly or secretly. We have the feeling that more benefits can accrue from chanting many mantras. It may not be true, as the same benefits may accrue from the same mantra, when chanted more number of times. It is best to dedicate more time towards the mantra japa of one mantra vs splitting time to recite many mantras. You may complete the prescribed japa of one mantra and then proceed to another or at least make a commitment of reciting x number of japa for one mantra, before proceeding to another. Please do consider getting an initiation or if you cannot find an appropriate guru, you may go through the self-initiation procedures at least.

Very valuable information sir. I have been chanting Sowbhagya Panchadasi Mantra for quite sometime now. I hardly do the mantra japa for a couple of minutes a day. I don't do any nyasas. I only chant the main mantra. But still, mata is with me helping in many ways. But now a days I am being attracted towards Kali, Pratyangira and other fierceful ugra deities, I don't know why. So, now I have stopped here at Kamakala kali. I want to start the japan of the mantra which is given in Mahakala Samhita (trailokyakarsana mantra, as lord siva himself addressed that even with countless heads over countless yugā-s (epochs), He would not be able to describe it's power and greatness). I truly don't believe in anga nyasa, kara nyasa and other nyasas. I will start chanting the trailokyakarsana mantra alone and leave the rest to the ultimate Maa. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!!!

Thank you sir. I have read the articles and it is mentioned "It is also that ॐ is the root mantra out of which all other mantra arise. It is clear that without ॐ in the beginning of any mantra, rest of the bījākṣara-s of a mantra will not have any power." Does this mean the "trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ" is powerless?
