देवताशोधनम्Establishing the deity

Verse 75

इति त्रिधा यन्त्रमध्ये लेलिहानाख्यमुद्रया । संस्थाप्य विधिवत् प्राणान् कृताञ्जलिपुटो वदेत् ॥ ७५ ॥

iti tridhā yantramadhyē lēlihānākhyamudrayā | saṁsthāpya vidhivat prāṇān kṛtāñjalipuṭō vadēt || 75 ||

Translation

Having so duly established the life-breaths three times in the middle of the yantra with the gesture called lelihāna, he should say with joined palms:

Word by word

iti: so
tridhā: three times
yantra: yantra
madhyē: in the middle
lēlihāna: lelihāna
ākhya: called
mudrayā: with the gesture
saṁsthāpya: having established
vidhivat: duly
prāṇān: the life-breaths
kṛta: made
añjali: joined palms
puṭō: (puṭaḥ) hollow
vadēt: should say

Meaning

Lelihāna, "licking", is a gesture of the hand: the commentary quotes the Dakṣiṇāmūrti-saṁhitā, forefinger, middle and ring fingers held level and pointing down, the little finger stretched straight.

Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

Having duly established the Goddess's life-breaths in the middle of the yantra with this same mantra of prāṇa-pratiṣṭhā, three times, with the gesture called lelihāna taught by the guru, he should speak with joined palms. The lelihāna gesture, as in the Dakṣiṇāmūrti-saṁhitā: "Make the forefinger, middle and ring fingers even, facing downward; stretch the little finger straight and put it to the ring finger: this lelihāna gesture is declared in the jīva-nyāsa."
