Prologue –
The Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi in Her most aggressive avatar is referenced as Mahā
Pratyaṅgirā or Atharvaṇa Bhadrakāḻi, the protector of the Atharvaṇa Veda and all it’s secretive
incantations. The Khaḍgamālā stotram consists of all the attributes and deities associated with the
yantra (mystical diagram) of Śrī Mahā Pratyaṅgirā Devi and is treated by itself, as a two thousand
lettered mantra. Reciting this mantra for a week on a daily basis, is said to bring huge benefits and if
recited for a longer time, may help the devotee overcome all difficulties in life, remove all types of
afflictions caused by planetary formation in one’s horoscope, removal of all types of black magic and
incantations performed against the person, as well as for fulfillment of all material and spiritual
desires.
The only restriction, is that one must be initiated into any of the Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi mantras and
also to the Śrī Mahā Pratyaṅgirā Devi mantras. She is a very aggressive form of the Divine Mother
and it is not safe to recite this mantra without a proper initiation as sadhaka might not be able to
withstand the energies of Divine Mother. Her Ugra form is only to clear our deep-rooted sticky
karmas and make us proceed towards Moksha. Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi mantras are generally given to
the Śrī Vidya devotees who are facing many difficulties and in need of protection. By default, Śrī
Pratyaṅgirā Devi will protect all Śrī Vidya devotees (upāsaka-s) and an initiation is generally not
required. There is also no necessity for Śrī Vidya devotees, to recite this mantra, if there are no

We meditate on the terrifying form of the Divine Mother Śrī Pratyaṅgirā, who is seated on a lion, has
a lion face and is the consort of Śrī Bhairava. She holds in Her hands, a trident, arrows, a skull
shaped bowl, a noose, a musical drum and a lotus entwined in Her fingers. She has very sharp
diamond teeth many billions in count and a very wide gaping mouth. She has three blood red eyes
displaying Her anger and aggression, also signifying the activation of the ājñā cakra. She is very
dark like the new moon night and is the cause of annhilation. She is adorned by the moon on Her

The nectar of śrī vidyā is the Divine Mother Kālī, the One who is beyond all dimensions of space and

a snake, indicating the spinal cord and the various spiritual channels (nāḍi-s), that help with the
activation of the spiritual cakras and the flow of the Kuṇḍalini energy, from the bottom of the spine to

sincere devotees, who meditate upon Her and heaps all types of treasures upon them. There will be

You may consider dhanada devi mantra japa, sadya phalada stotram or any Lord Hanuman
related stotras or mantras, for help in these type of scenarios.

Dear Friends@manblunder.com , I have been searching for the sanskrit ( devanagri) script version
of this pratyangira khdgamala since years !!! ( seriously). Thank you sadhaks for posting this rare
gem !! I have been into srividya since 1997. stopped it since last year , started pratyangira sadhana .
Although not directly initiated, I got the moola mantra from a book written by my srividya-guru ( given
by him to his students - tamil book ). Hoping to start this khadgmala from 28th sep 2019, and
continue thru out Navarathri sadhana . Please wish me success in this sadhana ( I am totally wiped
out ) . Thanks again and regards Suresh. Please contact me sureshinuae@gmail.com or whatsapp

The Divine Mother Pratyaṅgirā Devi protects all Śrī Vidyā worshippers. You may still
continue your Śrī Vidyā sādhana and seek the blessings of Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi through
this stotram/mantra.

First of all Big Thank you for this. Such a service to the humanity. One request, if possible please
post audio as well for reciting mantra. I am also finding it very hard to find someone who can initiate
this mantra to us. Krishna Guruji, do you do initiation for this mantra?

There is no audio that I can find anywhere. This mantra constitutes the āvaraṇa pūja of
Mahā Pratyaṅgirā Devi. Initiation to Her mantrasis a pre-requisite for this longer mālā
mantra. It is not necessary or compulsory for Śrī Vidyā worshippers. But can definitely be
taken up by those facing insurmountable difficulties. My recommendation would be to go for
the kavacam, followed by any of Her mantras and then proceed to this stotram/mantra.
Initiation can be provided for serious aspirants.

I am very much serious Krishna ji, Please let me know. I want all my bad karma's to stop
here, any dosha, shapa's, negatives to get cleared with Amma's grace. I dont want it to be
carried forwarded to next generation, even if i dont leave abundant wealth for them its fine
but i definitely dont want them to face these problems.

It is a very noble thought and I pray to the Divine Mother sincerely to make it happen for
you! You must understand, that everyone of us carries our own karmic burden and not
necessarily of our parents, though some of which may have come from our pitṛ-s
(ancestors). It is natural for us to wish the best for our descendants and live with the same
hope. What is more apt, is to educate and make the future generations aware of the effects
of karma and the need for leading a moralistic life and the reasons to seek spiritual
salvation. For us to remove our own doṣa-s (miseries), we can take refuge in mantra japa,
as one of the most effective remedies. It will bring respite to us, as well as to the entire
family and immediate surroundings even, when siddhi happens. We need to perform the
mantra japa with utmost sincerity, faith and dedication. It may take some time for the karmic
barriers to break, but they will, with the grace of the Divine Mother. If you have such hope
and resolve, you will surely succeed. This is from my own first hand experience with mantra
japa.

Thank you very much Krishna Ji for such a detailed explanation and your blessings. I will surely try
my level best to educate my child on this. I would really like to ask forgiveness for all my
knowing/unknowing sins and ask Amma to remove all types of dosha's and any negativity. Please
guide me on how do i proceed next.

Krishna ji.... (1) Small doubt, can the nyasa with done with other mantras of the pratangira devi for
this khadgamala stotram? (2) Also, request to post the avarana puja for the pratyangira devi and (3)
tarpana vidhanam (if we have it separately like srividya devatas).... Thanks a lot for sharing your
knowledge !!! Sri Matre Namah....

1. The nyāsa is for Mahā Pratyaṅgirā mantra and should be followed for this Khaḍgamālā
stotram. 2. I'm working on the document for the āvaraṇa pūja. 3. I would suggest following
any of the methods for other deities.

There can be changes to the document, as and when any omissions are detected or
corrections made. For this reason it is not a good idea to download or print the documents.
The best suggested option, is to view online to obtain the latest and correct version. If you
still wish to get a pdf, then you may download a pdf print driver and print the page to pdf or
simply write to us and we can provide.

Hello, I will not read "Sri Maha Prathyangira Khadgamala Stotram" in the near future, but I wonder
what bija mantra should be "kṣmraum̐" or "kṣraum̐"? And what does each of them mean, "kṣraum̐"
bija Narasimha she provides protection but unfortunately that's all I know about her and bija ,,
kṣmraum̐ '' I see for the first time.

The seed syllable (bīja) for Śrī Pratyaṅgirā devi is "kṣam̐" and She is also power and śakti
of Lord Nṛsiṃha, whose bīja is "kṣraum̐". When you combine both and see Her as the
embodiment of it, you get the "kṣmraum̐" bīja.

Thanks, it's really interesting and I didn't know it. That is, from bija kṣam̐ only the letter ,, m̐ ,,
remains, which is inserted into bija kṣraum̐ and comes out kṣmraum.

The letter 'm̐' is nothing but the bindu and it should come at the very end of the bīja, that is why
there's only one of them.

Namaste dear Krisnaji. Could you show how to split up the last word of each part of the stotra,
mayūkāvṛte, and, if possible, show the meaning? Love Ben

When you see a 'ā', it is usually a 'a + a' and the word can be split in such a manner. For
example, 'mayūkāvṛte' becomes 'mayūka' + 'avṛte', meaning a peacock and its circle of
feathers when dancing. The Divine Mother offers a 360 degree protection, is to be gleaned
from it. When we see a word like 'kālasyollāsinīm', the 'o' can be split as 'a + u', such as
'kālasya' + 'ullāsinīm', meaning prevalent and delighted at all times. Sometimes the words
cannot be split just like that or an incorrect split can change the meaning.

Good evening Guruji I know you already taught how to perform tarpanam for Lord Ganapati;
however, I was wondering whether or not there is a process to perform tarpanam for Mother
Pratyangira and or Mother Kali?

I'm not aware of any special tarpaṇas for these forms of the Divine Mother. Regular process
is followed for Puraścaraṇa.

Who has more authority, Lalita or Maha Pratyangira? According to this stotra, all forms of Kali are in
the strength of Maha Pratyangira. Honestly, looking more closely I have the impression that
everything is in her strength. Even Sharabha, Shulini, Dandini and all Bhairavas are mentioned in
the stotra. The stotra seems to combine the destructive powers of Mahavishnu Paramashiva and
AdiParashakti. Very scary. Who has more authority, Lalita or Maha Pratyangira?

At the beginning of the mantra, is there a "svaahaa" missing after "ksham hum phat" or is it correct?
Beacuse at the end of the mantra, the samputa is "svaahaa om". Thanks
