Meaning:-

The praṇava bīja om̐ (ॐ) represents the Śabda Brahman, which is the super-consciousness
Itself, manifested as sound. It consists of – au = healing and deep cleansing, m̐ = remove
misery.

The aiśvarya mātṛkā and Sarasvatī bīja aim̐ (ऐँ )  indicates wealth and also represents and
bestows immense knowledge, mastery in arts and amazing creativity.

The Mahāmāyā bīja (seed) mantra hrīm̐ (ह्रीँ) represents the power of Creation, Preservation
and Destruction. Elevation in society and high positions of power are also indicated. The
power to gain, in the context of this main mantra, is knowledge that can be used for attaining
any desires and ultimately gain liberation. Nothing else matters for the devotee of Śrī Vaśya
Mātaṅgi. The bīja hrīm̐ consists of - h = Brahman/śiva, r = fire and drive within us, ī =
energy and the source of all power that helps us ascend, m̐ = removal of all miseries and
facilitator of self-realization and ultimate liberation.

The Lakṣmī bīja (seed) mantra śrīm̐ (श्रीँ ) represents wealth, prosperity, abundance and
fertility. In the context of the mantra, it is for the fructification of the desire to self-realize and
gain liberation. The bīja consists of – śa indicating mahālakṣmī, repha (ra) indicating dhana
or wealth, ī indicating tuṣṭi or satisaction, nāda indicating parā or śakti and vindu indicating
duḥkhahara or removal of all miseries.

The kāma bīja (seed) mantra klīm̐ ( क्लीँ  ) represents the fulfillment of all desires, material
and spiritual. In the context of this mantra, it is for spiritual desires. The bīja consists of – ka
is for kāmadeva/kṛṣṇa indicating desires and wishes, la for indra indicating victory, ī for tuṣṭi
indicating satisfaction, m̐ for sukha meaning happiness and removal of misery.

The aiśvarya mātṛkā and Sarasvatī bīja aim̐ (ऐँ )  indicates wealth and also represents and
bestows immense knowledge, mastery in arts and amazing creativity.

The parā bīja (seed) mantra sauḥ ( सौः ) represents liberation from all attachments and union
with the Divine.

The combination of aim̐ klīm̐ sauḥ is the Śrī Bālā mantra, which represents the combination
of knowledge, desire fulfilment and liberation.

The praṇava bīja om̐ (ॐ) represents the Śabda Brahman, which is the super-consciousness
Itself, manifested as sound. It consists of – au = healing and deep cleansing, m̐ = remove
misery.

The word namo (नमो) is the salutations bīja (seed) mantra namaḥ (नमः) used for paying our
obeisance to the Divine Mother.

The word bhagavate (भगवते ) means “associated with the divine mother”.

The word mahā-śukāya (महाशुकाय ) is a reference to the Divine Mother Śrī Śuka Śyāmalā,
“the One who is the embodiment of all knowledge and manifested sound vibrations.” She is
the great parrot that constantly recites the scriptures to the Divine Mother Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā
and also the One, who can grant us complete knowledge of everything we seek.

The composite word tribhuvan-ālaṅkārāya (त्रिभुवनालङ्काराय) is composed of “tribhuvana”

and “alaṅkārāya”. The word “tribhuvana“ signifies the three realms of “bhūr (wordly or earth
related) bhuvaḥ (spatial)and svaḥ (belonging to higher and unseen dimensions)”. Tribhuvana
also refers to all the triads manifested in the Creation.

The word “alaṅkārāya” literally means “decorative”. The Divine Mother Śrī Śuka Śyāmalā
adorns all the triads and is manifested in them.

The composite word rāja-mada-mardanāya (राजमदमर्दनाय)  denotes removing the

distractions of the higher authorities towards us and turning their attention towards us.

The words śīghraṃ rājānāṃ me vaśamānaya ( शीघ्रं राजानां मे वशमानय )  indicates

obtaining the favor of higher authorities without any delays!
The vahni bīja (seed) mantra svāhā (स्वाहा) represents oblations and deep surrender to the
deity.

Finally, the bījas 2 to 7 are reversed to catalyze the effects of this mantra. This process of
reversal of bījas is called Sampuṭīkaraṇa. Many major mantras have this feature enabled.

Salutations and oblations are offered to the Divine Mother Śrī Śuka Śyāmalā Devi, who is
endowed with the complete knowledge of every scripture and sound present in the entire
Creation. She is invoked to bestow Her benevolent grace upon us and help us gain all the
knowledge and skills to become the best at what we do and also to obtain the favor of all
higher authorities and entities and enrich our lives in every possible manner!

May She usher auspiciousness and prosperity in our lives and ultimately grant us the
knowledge of self-realization and lead us to liberation.
