Likewise, the bīja mantras kām̐, kīm̐ and kūm̐, grant the ability to overcome the numerous triads, gain spiritual awareness, knowledge of the secrets of Creation and protection from all negative influences. The bīja-s kamalavarayūm̐ represent control over all natural elements and a mighty resolve to dispel all karmas and ascend spiritually, with the blessings of the Divine Yogini Kākinī devi. May the Divine Mother Yogini Kākinī devi, who is extremely frightful in appearance, come to us and provide complete protection and entice the eternal Truth to pervade our mind and consciousness. May our body fat, mind and intellect, be infused and recharged with the zeal to pursue our goals and ascend spiritually. May the bīja-s aim̐, hrīm̐ and saḥ, provide knowledge, enhance our spiritual pursuits and increase compassion in us. May the duality destroying Divine Mother Cāmuṇḍa devi come closer to us and provide us the knowledge leading to self-realization and liberation. The bīja-s ḍaralakasa and haim̐, represented by the seven yoginis - Ḍākini, Rākini, Lākini, Kākini, Sākini, Hākini and Yākini, provide control over our emotions, cleanse our karmas and lead us to self-realization and liberation. May the Divine Mother Śrī mahātripurasundari devi who is the dynamic super-consciousness pardon our karmas and lead us to liberation. The bīja-s bam̐, bham̐, mam̐, yam̐, ram̐ and lam̐ remove all bondage, grant auspiciousness, magical siddhi-s and powers, wish fulfillment, grant us the discerning knowledge to free us from all karmas and attachments spawned upon by the cosmic illusion - māyā, destruction of negativities, gain control of senses, removal of all impurities, gain contentment and establish our identity with the Supreme Self. Salutations to the Divine Mother Yogini Kākini devi, who rules the sacral svādhiṣṭhāna cakra and may all the mātṛkā bīja-s from ḍam̐ to pham̐, be meditated upon on all the ten petals of the lotus associated with the sacral cakra. Salutations to the Divine Yogini Kākini devi. May She energize our navel cakra, infuse joy, well-being, rejuvenate our zeal and spiritual appetite and lead us to salvation.

Meaning:- Salutations to the yogini Kākinī devi, who is located as the six petalled lotus – svādhiṣṭhāna (sacral) cakra, bearing each of the Sanskrit consonant mātṛkā-s from bam̐ to lam̐ on each of the petals. She is yellow in complexion and terrific in appearance. She is three-eyed (awakened ājñā – third eye cakra) each of which, are emitting lightning rays showing the path to the Divinity in all the three realms. She is four headed signifying the four vedas, the essence of which needs to be studied, to progress on the path to Divinity. She is holding a trident to pierce all the triads and lead us to the eternal Truth, a noose to bring us back to the spiritual path as and when we stray away from it, a skull cup with blood to indicate the brain and Her role in the act of Creation, an abhaya mudra to ally all our fears. She prides over the entire Creation and Her role in it. She pervades the fat in the bodies of all beings.

She releases us from all bondage and the limitations of the cosmic illusion māyā and leads us towards liberation. She also represents the water (jala) element. She relishes honey, curd rice and spirituous liquor. She confers all wishes and blesses us with fulfillment of all desires. Salutations to the wonderful Yogini Kākinī devi, on whom we meditate for the activation of the sacral cakra. She should be meditated upon with all the surrounding mātṛkā śaktī-s with their weapons, in the six petals of the svādhiṣṭhāna cakra.
