It deals with the mantras of the AmnAyas of shrIvidyA. It is said that from the five faces of Sri Parameshwara (aghora, tatpurusha, vAmadeva, sadyojaAta, IshAna), the five Amnayas with their various mantras originated. The Sixth secret face of Parameshwara is what is termed 'Anuttara' and this is the seat of Parabrahma Shakti Mahatripurasundari. It is highly subtle and not revealed easily to a Sadhaka. The first four Amnayas (pUrva, dakshiNa, pashchima and uttara) are applicable to pancadashi upasaka’s. The eligibility for the higher two Amnayas i.e. Urdhwa and anuttara is initiation into ShoDashI and pUrnabhishekA. Explanation of the dhyana sloka ीनाथा द गु यं - This refers to one's own guru (shrinAtha), parama guru and parameshthi guru. गणप तं - The mantra of mahAganapati and whose upasana is a must even before initiation into pancadashi. पीठ यं - The mantras for jAlandhara, pUrnagiri and kAmarUpa piThas, which are the first three shakti piThas of amba and represent the trinity and their shaktis – mahAkAmeshwarI, mahAvajreshwarI and mahAabhagamAlini. The fourth pITha is mahoDyAna and is the seat of parabrahma shakti mahAtripurasundarI, has to imagined in a state of transcendence over these three pITha. The fourth represents the state of turIya and it is imagined as existing in the state of absolute silence that exists between each of these pIThas, which are actually states of citta.

भैरवं - The mantras for eight bhairavas starting with mahAmanthana bhairava etc. स ौघं - The mantras for nine siddhas starting from mahAdurmanAmba siddha etc. वटुक यं - The mantras for the three vatukAs (brahmacArI’s or bhairavA’s) - skanda and citra and virinci vatukas. पदयुगं - The mantras for prakAsha carana and vimarsha carana of shridevI. दत ू ी &मं - The nine (ten according to some tantras) dUti goddesses starting from yonyAmbA and yonisiddhantAmba etc. म'डलं - The mantras for agni and sUrya and candra mandalas. वीर - The mantras for the ten vIra’s starting from shriShTi bhairava etc. Then come the mantras for the 64 Siddhas starting with mangalanAtha etc. नवकं - The nine mudra mantras starting from sarvasamkshobhiNi. वीरावल* प+चकं - The mantras for brahma, viShNu, rudra , Ishwara and Sadashiva virAvali’s. मा लनी - The mAtrika saraswatI mantra. म- राज - mantrarAja nrisimha mantra according to our sampradAya. Others follow devi tAraka in its place. गु म-डलं - The gurumaNdala proper includes mantras for Urdhwaugha, paraugha, kAmarAjaugha, lopAmudraugha and parAparaugha, depending on one’s sampradAya. Each of these again have divyaugha, siddhaugha and mAnavaugha guru’s in them. Thus, this shloka invokes all these deities who form the AmnAya parivAra and gurumaNDala of shrIvidya parAbhattArika. The shloka 'pUrvam dakshiNa pashcimottarAmnAyaM' speaks about the 27 rahasyA’s or secrets. The above mantra’s along with a few other esoteric additions and the numerous mantras of the 6 AmnAyas will constitute these 27 secrets of shrIvidya.
