1. O lord of the Kula (Kuleśa), O supreme lord (parameśvara), I wish to hear the characteristics of the preparatory mantra recitation (puraścaraṇa) as well as the distinctions regarding place, food, and other matters. Tell me.

2. O goddess, listen. I will tell you what you are asking me about, for simply by hearing it, the truth of the mantra is revealed.
जपयज्ञात् परो यज्ञो नापरोऽस्तीह कश्चन ।
तस्माज्जपेन धर्मार्थकाममोक्षांश्च साधयेत् ॥३॥
तस्माज्जपेन धर्मार्थकाममोक्षांश्च साधयेत् ॥३॥

tasmāt japena dharmārthakāmamokṣān ca sādhayet
tasmāt japena dharmārthakāmamokṣān ca sādhayet
3. There is no yagya greater than japa-yagya in this world. Therefore, through japa one should accomplish dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa.
सर्वपादान् परित्यज्य मन्त्रपादं समभ्यसेत् ।
अप्रमादाद् भवेत् सिद्धिः प्रमादादशुभं फलम् ॥४॥

apramādāt siddhiḥ bhavet pramādāt aśubhaṃ phalam
apramādāt siddhiḥ bhavet pramādāt aśubhaṃ phalam
4. Abandoning all other quarters of study, one should thoroughly practice the quarter of the mantra. Through diligence, spiritual attainment (siddhi) arises, and from negligence comes an inauspicious result.
भोगापवर्गसङ्कल्पकल्पव्रतशुभो जपः ।

japa-dhyāna-mayaṃ yogaṃ tasmāt devi samācaret
japa-dhyāna-mayaṃ yogaṃ tasmāt devi samācaret
5. Japa is auspicious because it fulfills the resolution and vows concerning both worldly enjoyment (bhoga) and liberation (apavarga). Therefore, O goddess, one should practice yoga, which consists of japa and meditation.

6. O beloved, all flaws originating right from the seed of Brahmā, those arising from the violation of rules, as well as those committed knowingly or unknowingly, are completely destroyed through japa.
संसारे दुःखभूयिष्ठे यदीच्चेत् सिद्धिमात्मनः ।

7. In worldly existence, which is full of suffering, if one desires spiritual attainment for oneself, the practitioner of mantra recitation should attain happiness solely through the fivefold worship.

होमो ब्राह्मणभुक्तिश्च पुरश्चरणमुच्यते ॥८॥

8. Daily worship at the three junctures of the day, mantra recitation (japa), libation, the Vedic fire ritual (homa), and the feeding of brahmins - this is called puraścaraṇa.
यद् यदङ्गं विहीयेत तत्संख्याद्विगुणो जपः ।

yat yat aṅgam vihīyeta tat-saṅkhyāt dviguṇaḥ japaḥ syāt,
sādhakaḥ dvi-tri-catuḥ-pañca-saṅkhyām vā kuryāt
9. O beloved, whichever limb or part of the ritual is omitted, the mantra recitation should be doubled in accordance with that count. Alternatively, the practitioner should perform two, three, four, or five times the number.
कुर्वीत चाङ्गसिद्ध्यर्थं तदशक्तौ स भक्तितः ।
तच्चेदङ्गं विहीयेत मन्त्री नेष्टमवाप्नुयात् ॥१०॥

tat cet aṅgam vihīyeta mantrī iṣṭam na avāpnuyāt
tat cet aṅgam vihīyeta mantrī iṣṭam na avāpnuyāt
10. And if he is unable to do so, he should perform it with devotion for the sake of the perfection of the limbs of the ritual. If a limb is omitted, the practitioner of the mantra does not attain his desired goal.
अन्नैश्चतुवीधैर्देवि पदार्थैः षड्रसान्वितैः ।

11. O goddess, when brahmins are well fed with four kinds of food and various dishes endowed with the six tastes, everything truly becomes fruitful.

12. O Kuleśvarī, through the fivefold worship of a single mantra that has been properly perfected, and through your grace, all mantras attain perfection.

मन्त्रप्रभावाद्भक्त्या च मन्त्रसिद्धिः प्रजायते ॥१३॥

13. Perfection of a mantra arises through the potency of the instruction, the grace of the revered guru, the power of the mantra, and through devotion.
सिद्धमन्त्राद् गुरोर्लब्धो मन्त्रो यः सिद्धिभाग्भवेत् ।
पूर्वजन्मकृताभ्यासान्मन्त्रो वा शीघ्रसिद्धिदः ॥१४॥

pūrva-janma-kṛtābhyāsāt vā mantraḥ śīghrasiddhidaḥ
pūrva-janma-kṛtābhyāsāt vā mantraḥ śīghrasiddhidaḥ
14. A mantra obtained from a revered guru who has perfected that mantra attains success, or a mantra quickly grants perfection due to practice performed in a previous birth.
दीक्षापूर्वं कुलेशानि पारम्पर्यक्रमागतम् ।
न्यायलब्धश्च यो मन्त्रः स च सिद्धो न संशयः ॥१५॥

15. O Kuleśānī, preceded by initiation, handed down through a continuous lineage, and lawfully obtained - indeed, that mantra is perfected, without a doubt.
सहस्रं प्रजपेन्मन्त्रं मातृकाक्षरसंपुटम् ।

anulomavilomena mantra-siddhiḥ prajāyate
16. One should recite the mantra a thousand times, enclosed by the letters of the mātṛkā, in both regular and reverse order. Through this, the perfection of the mantra is attained.
त्रिषष्ट्यक्षरसंयुक्तमातृकाक्षरसंपुटम् ।
क्रमोत्क्रमात्सहस्रन्तु तस्य सिद्धो भवेन्मनुः ॥१७॥

kramotkramāt sahasram tu tasya manuḥ siddhaḥ bhavet
17. Combined with the sixty-three syllables, and enclosed by the mātṛkākṣara in regular and reverse order, a thousand repetitions of the mantra ensure that it becomes perfected for him.
मातृकाजपमात्रेण मन्त्राणां कोटिकोटयः ।
जषिताः स्युर्न सन्देहो यतः सर्वं तदुद्भवम् ॥१८॥
जषिताः स्युर्न सन्देहो यतः सर्वं तदुद्भवम् ॥१८॥

sandehaḥ na (asti),
yataḥ sarvaṃ tat udbhavam (asti).
sandehaḥ na (asti),
yataḥ sarvaṃ tat udbhavam (asti).
18. Through mere recitation of the mātṛkā, countless millions of mantras are recited, without a doubt, because everything arises from that.
अनेककोटिमन्त्राणि चित्ताकुलकराणि च ।
मन्त्रं गुरुकृपाप्राप्तमेकं स्यात् सर्वसिद्धिदम् ॥१९॥
मन्त्रं गुरुकृपाप्राप्तमेकं स्यात् सर्वसिद्धिदम् ॥१९॥

gurukṛpāprāptam ekam mantram sarvasiddhidam syāt.
gurukṛpāprāptam ekam mantram sarvasiddhidam syāt.
19. Countless millions of mantras merely cause agitation of the mind, whereas a single mantra obtained through the grace of the guru grants all spiritual attainments.
यदृच्चया श्रुतं मन्त्रं दृष्टेनापि चलेन च ।

sthitam vā ca adhyāpya tat japaḥ syāt anarthakṛt
sthitam vā ca adhyāpya tat japaḥ syāt anarthakṛt
20. Heard by chance, seen even through unsteadiness, or written on a leaf, and having been taught - the recitation of such a mantra becomes productive of harm.
पुस्तके लिखितान्मन्त्रान् विलोक्य प्रजपन्ति ये ।
ब्रह्महत्यासमं तेषां पातकं व्याधिदुःखदम् ॥२१॥

teṣām pātakam brahmahatyāsamam vyādhiduḥkhadam
teṣām pātakam brahmahatyāsamam vyādhiduḥkhadam
21. Those who, having looked upon mantras written in a book, recite them - their sin is equal to the slaughter of a brahmin, bringing disease and misery.

22. A holy place, the bank of a river, a cave, the peak of a mountain, sacred places, the confluence of rivers, and a purifying forest...

23. (gardens, secluded places, the root of a bilva tree, the slope of a mountain, a temple, the shore of the ocean, and one's own home - these are suitable places for mantra practice)
साधनेषु प्रशस्तानि स्थानान्येतानि मन्त्रिणाम् ।

24. These places are recommended for the mantra practice of practitioners, or else one should dwell wherever the mind becomes peaceful.
