: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric TraditionsNavÄåká¹£arÄå (नवाकà¥à¤·à¤°à¤¾) refers to the “nine-syllable (±¹¾±»å²âÄå)â€�, according to the BrahmayÄåmala-tantra (or Picumata), an early 7th century Åšaiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.—Patterning the processes of inner and outer ritual is the BrahmayÄåmala’s pantheon of mantra-deities, whose core comprises the Four Goddesses or GuhyakÄås, Four Consorts or Handmaidens, and their lord, KapÄålīśabhairava. Secondary members of the pantheon are a sextet of YoginÄ«s and an octad of Mother-goddesses. These are the mantra-elements manipulated in all practice, both inner and outer, and their permutations are the principal ritual variables. Collectively, the deities comprise the Nine-Syllable VidyÄå (²Ô²¹±¹Äå°ìá¹£a°ùÄå), mantra of the supreme goddess, Caṇá¸Äå KÄåpÄålinÄ«,
