Amnaya Krama for Srividya

The Shloka Srinathadi Gurutrayam invokes the Gurumandala that is very

important in Srividya Krama. It deals with the Mantras of the Amnayas of
Srividya. It is said that from the five faces of Sri Parameshwara
(Tatpurushaadi), the five Amnayas with their various mantras originated.
The Sixth secret face of Parameshwara is what is termed 'Anuttara' and this
is the seat of Parabrahma Shakti Mahatripurasundari. It is highly subtle and
not revealed easily to a Sadhaka. The first four Amnayas (Purva, Dakshina,
Pashchima and Uttara) are applicable to Panchadashi Upasakas. The
eligibility for the higher two Amnayas i.e. Urdhwa and Anuttara is initiation
into Shodashi and Purnabhisheka.

Guru and Parameshthi Guru.

Ganapatim - The Mantra of Mahaganapati and whose Upasana is a must
before even initiation into Panchadashi.
Piithatrayam - The mantras for Jalandhara and Purnagiri and Kamaroopa
Pithas, which are the first three Shakti Pithas of Amba and representing the
trinity and their Shaktis - Mahakameshwari and Mahavajreshwari and
Mahabhagamalini. The fourth Peetham, Mahodyana and the seat of
Parabrahma Shakti Mahatripurasundari has to imagined in a state of
transcendence over these three Peethas. Since the fourth represents the
state of Turiya and it is imagined as existing in the state of absolute silence
that exists between each of these Peethas and which are
Actually states of Chitta.
Bhairavam - The mantras for eight Bhairavas starting with Mahamanthana
Bhairava etc.
Siddhaugham - The mantras for nine Siddhas starting from
Mahadurmanamba Siddha etc.
Vatukatrayam - The mantras for the three Vatukas (Brahmacharis or
Bhairavas) - Skanda and Chitra and Virinchi Vatukas.
Padayugam - The mantras for Prakasha Charana and Vimarsha Charana
of Sridevi.
Dutikramam - The nine (ten according to some tantras) Duti goddesses
starting from Yonyamba and Yonisiddhanathamba etc.
Mandalam - The mantras for Agni and Surya and Chandra mandalas.
Vira - The mantras for the ten Viras starting from Srishti bhairava etc.
Then come the mantras for the 64 Siddhas starting with Mangalanatha etc.
