- 厂补谤惫补蝉颈诲诲丑颈辫谤补诲腻,
- 厂补谤惫补蝉补尘辫补迟辫谤补诲腻,

碍耻濒别艣惫补谤墨 (啶曕啶侧啶多啶掂ぐ啷�) refers to one of the 56 rays of the M奴l膩dh膩ra-Cakra which (together with the 52 rays of the Svadhi峁ａ弓h膩na) are associated with the fiery plane called Rudragranthi, according to 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya鈥檚 Saudaryalahar墨.鈥擜ccordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by S膩dhaka) as dwelling above the six 膧dh膩racakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., 碍耻濒别艣惫补谤墨]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the 艣补产诲补辫谤补辫补帽肠补 or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with 丑补峁� and 蝉补岣�, Ny膩sa should be performed for 艢r墨cakrap奴j膩.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
