> and because all the syllables of the vidyā-mantra are included within it, and with the intention that almost all mantras manifest in this very \[vidyā\], the word "mother" (mātṛ) is used for her; and also because the name of this deity is Tripurāmbikā. Thus ten mantras have been stated. From their mutual combination, the mantra regular recitation (mantrapārāyaṇa) is formed. Namely: "hrīṃ a kālī sauḥ" — this is the first mantra. In this, among the three seed syllables, the first seed syllable, the first letter among the fourfold mātṛkā beginning with the pure \[vowels\], the first name among the ten names, and the first mantra among the ten mantras are present. Thus, "hrīṃ ā kālī sauḥ" and so forth, in the pure mātṛkā, there are fifty mantras ending with "hrīṃ kṣa kālī sauḥ". Likewise, "hrīṃ aṃ kālī sauḥ"
