The Lord said: / I shall explain the tripartite [formula] belonging to Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara:

“Oṃ, homage to the blessed Rudra! Homage! Homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, homage to the mothers of the sky, / who accomplish all desired aims, who are free from old age and death, / whose movement is unhindered everywhere, who alter forms and their intrinsic nature, / who engage in all acts of subjugating, eradicating, and uprooting all living beings, / the secret of all Mothers, the heart, supreme accomplishment, that cuts through others’ rites, / granting supreme perfection, the auspicious word of the Mothers!” / With the Rudras, in the division of the Brahmā-section, there are one hundred and twenty-one.

Namely: “Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Brahmāṇī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Māheśvarī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Kaumārī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Vaiṣṇavī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Vārāhī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Indrāṇī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Caṇḍī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā! Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā, O Īśānī, Aghorā, Amoghā, boongiver, vicce svāhā!” / In terms of syllable-words, the second section is the Viṣṇu-section:

146.2.p1

“Oṃ homage, O Cāmuṇḍā whose hair stands upright, blazing-crested, lightning-tongued, / star-eyed, brown-browed, deformed-fanged, enraged! Oṃ, / O you fond of flesh, blood, and liquor! Laugh, laugh! Oṃ dance, dance! Oṃ gape, gape! Oṃ, / O you who transform into a thousand threefold-world-forms, oṃ bind, bind! Oṃ strike, strike! ciri ciri, hiri hiri, bhiri bhiri, terrifier, terrifier, whirl-causer, whirl-causer! Oṃ liquefier, liquefier, shaker, shaker!
