Meaning
The brief worship, step by step, as the commentary introduces it. Ācamana: sipping water with the root mantra (the main mantra of Ādyā Kālī) to purify oneself. Ṛṣi-nyāsa: touching the head, mouth and heart while naming the mantra's seer, metre and deity. Kara-śuddhi: purifying the hands. Then kara-nyāsa and aṅga-nyāsa, placing the mantra's syllables on the fingers and the limbs. These steps were taught in full in ullāsa 5.
Commentary
