Source :- Tārābhakti Sudhārṇava.
Purpose :- To obtain immense protection, removal of all types of misery, obtain favors from higher authorities, victory in all competitions, gambling, wealth, status etc. as well as self-realization and liberation.

The Divine Mother is easy to please and grants all magical powers to the sincere devotees. It is however, very important to recite the additional nyāsās on a daily basis, which by itself could take 30 to 45 minutes. It is suggested that one should dedicate at least 2 hours of their time towards the mantra japa, in order to complete the 400,000 mantra japa in the prescribed manner.
