The samaayika pooja is seen as veera ghoshti priyaa(898). The tarpana to guru was told earlier, now aatma tarpanam in the tattva shodhana is seen as aatma vidyaa(583) This is the paramjoti koshamba of eight syllables as revealed by Sri Bhaskararaya.

These thoughts on the identity of the saparya and Sahasranama affirm the saying of Sri Lalitha Devi in the phala sruti that, even though one may not do to the j apa of pancadasi or perform the Saparya ritual, the chanting of this sahasranama is essential, since we find that this includes the elements and aspects of sapa ryaa and also the mantra shastraa.

heir experience The first is unnamed since it is space , next mahaa points to the vayu, divya points to the fire , shankha will point to water and padma to earth. Thus the names ;panca bhooteshi(949) and panca sankhyopacaarinee(950) will show these deities 9. mandalam : The three spheres of existence as seen from above vahni mam dala vaasini(654), bhanu mandala madhyasthaa(275) and candra mandala madhyaga(24 0) 10. veeraandvyashta : The ten accomplished aspirants seen in the name veera ( 899) and veeraaraadhyaa(777) 11. catushaka shashti: The sixty four siddhas representing the sixty four st udy routes seen in the names cathushshashti kalaa mayee(236) and siddha maataa(47 3) 12. navakam : The nine gestures in the ritual (mudras) the tenth also is in cluded in the name dasa mudraa samaaradhyaa(977) 13. veeraavali pancakam : The five modes of creation, sustenance, annihilat ion, concealment and grace seen in names panacakrtya paraayanaa(274) and pancabrah ama svaroopini(250) 14. sriman maalini: The maalini , an order of the fifty one alphabets in a different manner, starting from na ending with pha is seen straight away in the nam e maalinee(455) 15. mantraraaja : The anushtub mantra of Nrsimha is called Mantra raja We fi nd (ugram veeram) Veeraa(899), (Mahaa vishnum) Vishnu roopini(893), (Jvalantam) tejovatee(452), (Sarvato mukham) sarvato mukhi(532), (bhadram) Bhadra moorthi(11 6), (mrtu mrtum) mrthu daaru kutaarikaa(749) Also it will mean mahaavidyaa(584); a nd hence the most secret mantra of sixteen syllables which is seen as sree shoda saaksharee vidyaa(587) Vande guruor mandalam: This I bow to this congregation of the preceptors of thi s vidyaa is seen in guru mandala roopinee(713) Interestingly we can see the list of upaasakaas of the said ritual in the sahasr anama :The Sri Vidya mantra is classified on the basis of the staring alphabet, hence t he following are called Kaadi vidyaa and upasakaas are:1.
