Meaning
The code again, opened by the commentary. Māyā is hrīṁ and Lakṣmī is śrīṁ; the letter after tha is da, the sixth vowel is ū, and the dot gives dūṁ; the beloved of fire is svāhā. The mantra of the Goddess is "hrīṁ śrīṁ dūṁ svāhā". The commentary notes that in some places "sāntam", the letter after sa, is read instead of "thāntam", which would give hūṁ.
Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
He tells the mantra of the Bhagavatī with "māyām" and the rest. Having uttered the māyā seed hrīṁ and the Lakṣmī seed śrīṁ, one should then utter the letter that follows tha (da), joined to the sixth vowel (ū) and to the dot, and after it should add the beloved of the fire (svāhā). Putting all the words together the mantra that arises is "hrīṁ śrīṁ dūṁ svāhā". In some places "sāntam" is read here in place of "thāntam".
