Meaning -  The bīja mantras aim̐, hrīm̐ and śrīm̐ provide knowledge, power, status, elevation and abundant wealth. Likewise, the bīja mantras lām̐, līm̐ and lūm̐, provide attraction of positivity, gaining of spiritual awareness, control over all senses, knowledge and the experience of being It (super-consciousness) and protection from all negative influences, as well as grant the powers of mesmerism. The bīja-s lamalavarayūm̐ represent control over all natural elements and a mighty resolve to dispel all karmas and ascend spiritually, with the blessings of the Divine Yogini Lākinī devi. May the Divine Mother Yogini Lākinī 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 flesh 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 ḍam̐, ḍham̐, ṇam̐, tam̐, tham̐, dam̐, dham̐, nam̐, pam̐ and pham̐ grant us the discerning knowledge to free us from all karmas, destruction of negativities, gain control of senses, removal of all impurities, gain contentment, magical powers and establish our identity with the Supreme Self. Salutations to the Divine Mother Yogini Lākini devi, who rules the navel maṇipūraka 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 navel cakra.

Meaning:- Salutations to the yogini Lākinī devi, who is located as the ten petalled lotus – maṇipūraka (navel) cakra, bearing each of the Sanskrit consonant mātṛkā-s from ḍam̐ to pham̐ on each of the petals. She is red 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 three headed signifying the triads manifested in nature that need to be ascended to progress on the path to Divinity. She is holding a lance to awaken the cakras, a thunderbolt to strike down our ego, a stick to punish the wrong doings and prevent negative influences upon us, an abhaya mudra to ally all our fears. She pervades the flesh in all beings. She is surrounded by the mātṛkā śaktī-s from Ḍāmari to Phaṭkāriṇī devi in the ten petalled lotus represented by the bīja-s ḍam̐ to pham̐. She invokes great fear in enemies and amongst all those who cast negative influences upon us and infuses great strength, wisdom and vigor in us and also represents the fire (agni) element. She relishes sweet rice. She confers all types of joy, happiness and ushers immense auspiciousness, besides granting bliss to our souls. Salutations to the wonderful Yogini Lākinī devi, on whom we meditate for the activation of the navel cakra. She should be meditated upon with all the surrounding mātṛkā śaktī-s with their weapons, in the ten petals of the maṇipūraka cakra.

She is to be meditated upon as surrounded by Ḍāmari and other mātṛkā śaktī-s, dark in complexion and bowing down in submission, holding a skull cup representing their role in Creation, a trident representing the triads in the entire Creation, wearing a crown representing their high status and power, bedecked with ornaments, bracelets on the upper arms, ornamental girdles around the waist and dazzling anklets.
