శ్రీ పీతామ్బరా పఞ్జర స్తోత్రమ్

A cage rather than an armour, framed by Suta as Narada's request to Shiva, and its viniyoga states the purpose without euphemism: the undoing of the mantras, tantras, yantras and hostile rites of an opposing army. Most of its length is preparation. A full nyasa is laid out twice, once on the syllables hlam to hlah and once on the mantra broken into its clauses; and then comes a mental worship in which no material is used at all, the scent made of earth, the flower of ether, the incense of wind and the food of nectar, each conferred by its own seed. The dhyana sets her in the middle of a sea of nectar, on a jewelled dais under a canopy, entirely yellow, holding the mace and the tongue of her enemy. Only after all that does the cage begin, every verse opening on the same four seeds and covering the body from the crown downward.
