Yakṣiṇīmantrasādhana (यक्षिणीमन्त्रसाधन) refers to “invoking Yakṣīṇīs” and represents one of the various siddhis (perfections) mentioned in the Kakṣapuṭatantra verse 1.11-13. Accordingly, “by excellent Sādhakas (tantric practitioners) wishing the Siddhi (e.g., yakṣiṇī-mantrasādhana), the mantrasādhana should be performed in advance, for the sake of the Siddhi. One would not attain any Siddhi without the means of mantra-vidhāna (the classification of mantra)”.
