[...] The following ones are the mantras which could be easily mastered: [e.g., saptayakṣīmantra (136-156), viz., sundarī-mantra (157-158a), manoharā-mantra (158b-159a), kanakavatī-mantra (159b-160a), kāmeśvarī-mantra (160b- 162), ratipriyā-mantra (163-164), padminī-mantra (165-166а), yāminīmantra (166b-172a)] [...]
