Meaning:- May Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi, who is wide mouthed with large and sharp diamond teeth and a fire emitting tongue, consume all the karmas and liberate us from the cycle of births.
The bīja / seed mantraom̐ represents auspiciousness and is the śabda brahman or the Superconsciousness manifested as sound. This is also the Tārā bīja adding auspiciousness and protection from both Lord Śiva and Śakti. The ingrained ‘ū’ within ‘o’ of ‘om̐’, represents Lord Sadāśiva, an aspect of Lord Śiva representing the act of Creation after complete Annihilation and the ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. The total signification is our complete transformation and re-birth into a spiritual entity.

The varma bīja / seedmantra hum̐ represents the qualities of fire and helps in enkindling the consciousness and raising the Kuṇḍalini.
