Meaning
A Tantric mantra follows the Vedic ones. The ṭīkā decodes the seeds: kāma is klīṁ; vadhū, "the bride", is strīṁ; māyā is hrīṁ; ramā is śrīṁ; kūrca is hūṁ; dviṭha is svāhā. The mantra: "klīṁ strīṁ hrīṁ śrīṁ hūṁ amuṣyai putrakāmāyai garbham ādhehi svāhā", "set the embryo in this woman (so-and-so), who desires a son". The wife's name is said in the dative in place of "amuṣyai".

After that, uttering the seeds kāma, klīṁ, vadhū, strīṁ, māyā, hrīṁ, ramā, śrīṁ, and kūrca, hūṁ, and saying "amuṣyai putrakāmāyai garbham ādhehi" with dviṭha, with svāhā: that is, uttering the mantra "klīṁ strīṁ hrīṁ śrīṁ hūṁ amuṣyai putrakāmāyai garbham ādhehi svāhā" ("place the embryo in this woman who desires a son"), and meditating on the Sun and Viṣṇu, he should offer into the consecrated fire.
