The 36
Tattvas
He who is deluded by your maya sees not while he sees, understands
not while he hears, and knows not the truth while he reads - Kularnava Tantra
Because
of the large number of possible blendings and re-blendings, the 36th tattva -
Shiva Shakti - may seem to become identified, conditioned and confused.
The
five-foldness (prapancha) of the universe, according to this tantrik view, is
shown in the table above. The three members of the tantrik "trinity", Brahma,
Vishnu and Shiva-Rudra, represent the gunas, or qualities of rajas, sattva and
tamas, which may be represented by the principles of active, reconciling and
negative. From this triangle come all forms, including the five elements,
through different blendings.
The
individual (jiva) forgets her or his unlimited nature, which is actually one
with Shiva-Shakti, considering herself or himself to be a limited individual (Purusha)
with a certain nature (Prakriti).
This is
a reflection or shadow of the 36th tattva with a mental apparatus which is
itself also a reflection of Iccha, Jnana and Kriya Shaktis. For instance, the
"I", the ahamkar, is the reflection of Iccha. This limited individual has powers
of action and powers of knowledge and focuses on the tanmatras, or impression
objects, considering herself or himself to be different from the five verities.
In this
form, she or he plays in the world until realising the 36th tattva which is
Shiva-Shakti itself, immanent in the universe and vibrating with the power of
sound. From another point of view, the 36 consonants are Shiva and the 15 vowels
are Shakti - the whole being the universe as sound. The five verities are also
sometimes described as the five Shiva corpses. |

Kalas of the Moon, representing the 15 lunar tithis, are to be regarded
as identical with the fifteen Nityas (Kameshvari to Citra). The sixteenth
Kala called Sadakhya should be viewed as one with Lalita or the Supreme
Deity Herself. In other words, one has to feel that what appears in Kalacakra
is nothing but an expression of what exists eternally as Nityas in the
supreme Sri Cakra itself. The tithicakra or the wheel of time is constantly
revolving and the Sri Cakra is within it and not without. It should also
be remembered that from the standpoint of an esoteric yogin the tithis
are in the last analysis to be identified with the 21600 shvasas supposed
to be the average number of breaths per day of a normal human being."
Hence Lalita or Tripurasundari is the 16th day or full moon, with her
15 digits. Each of the Nityas has a certain number of arms, the totality
of arms (= rays) of the whole circle being 108. Because any unit of time
is taken as a microcosm or parallel of any other valid unit, each of the
fifteen Nityas thus has 1,440 breaths (see Bhavanopanishad). This identity
between space, time, Tripurasundari and the individual is elaborated at
great length and with considerable sophistication by the author of the
Tantraraja.
According to that text, the Nityas are the vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet
and are identical with both time and space. For example, if the number
of tattvas or consonants (36) are multiplied by the 16 Nityas the number
of letters is 576. The multiples of this number provide the number of
years in the different Yugas. So the circle of the matrikas and the Nityas
is identical with the sidereal zodiac as well as mantra.
This theme is further elaborated in the 28th chapter of the same tantra,
where Shiva says that in the centre of the world is the Meru, outside
of this being the seven oceans and beyond this the Kalachakra or wheel
of time which moves in a clockwise direction by the power of Iccha (Will)
Shakti. The circle is divided by 12 spokes and the planets or grahas are
within this. Lalita, says the tantra, is in the Meru, while 14 Nityas
from Kameshvari to Jvalamalini reside in the seven islands and seven oceans.
Chitra, who is the 16th Nitya, occupies supreme Space or Paramavyoma. image
In the Dakshinamurti Samhita, the Nityas are identified with kalas or
parts of the different stages of deep sleep, dreaming, waking, and full
consciousness or Turiya. Here it is said that the Nityas, including Lalita,
are the 16 parts of the continuum of consciousness, while the 17th Kala
is beyond all of this. Each of the Nityas has the respective vowel letter
associated with her mantra vidya
.
Similar ideas are found in the Matrikachakra Viveka, which classifies
the nine mandalas of the Shri Yantra according to Knower, Knowledge and
Known (subject, means of knowledge and object) and relates the different
states of consciousness to the yantra. See Tattvas on this site. According
to the Tantraraja, the 15 Nityas are limbs or rays of Lalita, who is herself
pure consciousness without additions. Varahi and Kurukulla bear the relationship
of father and mother respectively. The Nityas themselves can be meditated
upon and worshipped in different forms and colours for the attainment
of different ends. In daily worship (puja) of the Nityas, each has her
own nyasa and ritual sequence and they are to receive puja on the lunar
days associated with them. The vidya mantras of the different Nityas below
are prefaced by Aim Hrim Shrim bija mantras and suffixed with Shri Padukam
Pujayami Tarpayami Namah, that is Hail. I worship and libate the auspicious
lotus feet [of the appropriate Nitya]. The yantras used below are those
from the Tantraraja while the Sanskrit syllables are the vowel letters
associated with each Nitya and day of the Moon.
The images embedded in the text above are taken from a sadhaka's manuscript
of the 1,000 names of Lalita.

| Kameshvari Nitya |
|
The first Nitya in the cycle is Kameshvari, a name which
means Lady of Desire. Her vidya (mantra) according to the Tantrarajatantra,
is Aim Hrim Shrim Am Aim Sa Ka La Hrim Nityaklinne Madadrave Sauh Am Kameshvari
Nitya Shri Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami Namah.
image
The same tantra gives her dhyana or meditation image as red like 10 million
dawn suns, having a diadem of rubies, wearing throat ornaments, necklaces,
waistchains and rings. She is red, has six arms and three eyes, and bears
a crescent Moon, smiling softly. She holds a bow of sugar cane, flowering
arrows, noose, goad, and a nectar-filled begemmed cup, showing the mudra
of bestowing boons. The five arrows of desire (Kama) in the five petals
are Longing, Maddening, Kindling, Enchanting and Wasting. These five Kamas
are five forms of Kamadeva, Lalita as Krishna, who are Kamaraja (Hrim),
Manmatha (Klim), Kandarpa (Aim), Makara (Blum) and Manobhava (Strim) with
the colours yellow, white, red, purple and blue. Each of the Kamadevas
has two eyes and two arms, the hands holding sugar cane bow and flowering
arrows, the very form of the five elements.

| Bhagamalini Nitya |
|
Nitya Bhagamalini, whose name refers to the flowering
yoni, is the second of the cycle of the waxing Moon and has a remarkable
and very long vidya (mantra) which runs: Aim Hrim Shrim Am Aim Bhagabuge
Bhagini Bhagodari Bhagamale Bhagavahe Bhagaguhye Bhagayoni Bhaganipatini
Sarvabhagavashankari Bhagarupe Nityaklinne Bhagasvarupe Sarvani Bhagani

image
She has six arms, three eyes, sits on a lotus and holds in her left hands
a night water lily, a noose and a sugar cane bow and in her right a lotus,
a goad and flowering arrows. Around her is a host of Shaktis all of whom
look like her, according to the Tantrarajatantra.
The Dakshinamurti Samhita has a different image (dhyana). Here (chapter
41), she is described as dwelling in the middle of a flowery forest, adorned
with various gems, holding noose, goad, book, scales, nail (?) and writing
implement, showing the mudras or hand gestures of allaying fears and bestowing
boons. Her yantra is described differently, too, as triangle, hexagon,
16 petals, eight petals, then the bhupura or fence.

| |
| Nityaklinna Nitya |
|
Her name means Wet Nitya, or Always Wet. The third Nitya's
mantra is Aim Hrim Shrim Nityaklinne Madadrave Svaha im Nityaklinna Nitya

She is surrounded by 19 Shaktis, according to the Tantraraja, who are
Kshobhini, Mohini, Lila, Nitya, Niranjana, Klinna, Kledini, Madanatura,
Madadrava, Dravini, Vidhana, Madavila, Mangala, Manmatharta, Manashvini,
Moha, Amoda, Manomayi, Maya, Manda and Manovati. The Nityaklinna herself,
the same tantra says, is restless with desire, smeared with red sandal
paste, wears red clothes, smiles, has a half moon on her head, and holds
noose, goad, cup and makes the mudra dispelling fear.
The Dakshinamurti Samhita (chapter 42) gives her root mantra as being
of 11 syllables, Hrim Nityaklinna Madadrave Svaha. The image is similar
except that she holds a noose, a goad, a skull and dispels fears. Her
face is bathed in sweat and her eyes move with desire. Here the yantra
is described as trikona, eight petals, and earth square (bhupura). She
bestows enjoyment and liberation and subdues the three worlds for one
siddha (successful) in her vidya (mantra).

her hands, feet, arms and around her waist. She smiles sweetly with her
hands holding noose, goad, shield, sword, mace, thunderbolt (vajra), bow
and arrow.
image
The vidya mantra is: Aim Hrim Shrim Im Om Krom Bhrom Kraum Jhmraum Cchraum
Jraum Svaha Im Bherunda Nitya Shri Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami Namah, says
Tantraraja. Using her mantra destroys poison.
The DS describes her yantra as being triangle, eight petals and bhupura.
In the triangle are Shikhini, Nilakanthi and Raudri. Bherunda, according
to this source, rules the Vetalas. The vidya mantra also differs.

Tantra is as a beautiful young woman, the colour of gold, with eight arms,
dressed in yellow silk garments, adorned with rubies. She holds a red
lotus, a conch, a bow of red sugarcane and the full moon in her left hands;
in her right a white water lily, golden horn, flowery arrows and a citron.

dispelling fear. She is swaying from having drunk pure wine. The yantra
here is described as having a triangle, four petals, eight petals and
a bhupura.

the vidya-mantra of Shivaduti Nitya is Aim Hrim Shrim Shivadutyai Namah
Shivadutinitya Shri Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami Namah. She is called Shivaduti
because she makes Shiva her messenger (Duti).

in her crown, surrounded by Rishis singing her praises and having eight
