তাৰাকৰ্পূৰস্তোত্ৰম্ (ফেত্কাৰীতন্ত্ৰ)

Twenty-five verses from the Phetkarini Tantra, and the first of them does not write the mantra but builds it out of coded letters — the syllable made from the throat of Shrikantha and the letter of nectar, bright with the half-moon on its crest. Those who meditate on it, the verse says, go gladly to the state of consciousness and to equality with Hari and Hara and Brahma. The hymn is a left-hand text and does not conceal it: one verse prescribes the oblations for a fire in a triangular pit, and the substances it names belong to the kula rite. The closing verse forbids it to the uninitiated in as many words, and promises the path of release to whoever reads it at the time of worship.
