Key Features
The Panchadashi Tantram is a revered scripture of the Sri Vidya tradition, devoted to the Panchadashi — the celebrated fifteen-syllable (panchadashakshari) mantra of the great Goddess Lalita Tripura Sundari. Presented here in its Sanskrit text with a lucid Hindi commentary (Bhasha Tika) and published by the venerable house of Khemraj Shri Krishnadas of Bombay, this edition opens one of the most sacred and closely guarded traditions of the tantric path to the Sanskrit and Hindi reader alike.
The scripture takes the timeless form of the dialogue upon Mount Kailasa. As its opening verses relate, the Goddess Gauri (Parvati) turns to Shiva — "O Lord, O Master, protector of the whole world, benefactor of devotees" — and, out of compassion for the good of all people, beseeches him to reveal the vidhana, the method, of the Panchadashi. From this intimate request the teaching unfolds, placing the reader at the very heart of the transmission.
The Panchadashi mantra stands at the very center of Sri Vidya, the worship of the Divine Mother as Lalita Tripura Sundari — the foremost of beauties, one of the ten Mahavidyas, and the embodiment of the supreme Shakti. The mantra is composed of fifteen syllables divided into three sections (kutas), each sealed with the seed-syllable hrīṃ, and these three sections are said to symbolize the very form of the Goddess herself. It is a mantra of such potency that whole books have been written upon its meaning, and its practice is traditionally united with the worship of the Sri Yantra — the sacred diagram of nine interlocking triangles that is the visual form of the Divine Mother — through mantra, yantra, and ritual.
Fittingly, the cover of this edition bears a sacred numerical yantra, the magic square whose lines sum alike in every direction — an emblem of the perfect, self-contained power of the Goddess's mantra. A treasured scripture for the devotee of the Mother and the student of Sri Vidya, the Panchadashi Tantram is presented here in Sanskrit with clear Hindi commentary in a single accessible volume, preserving the sacred science of the fifteen-syllable mantra for the sincere seeker and the scholar.
