[Śakti’s Pañcavāha-tanu (Pañcaśloka-kulaka)]

Khecarī

Adyaspandharūpa-Icchā Śakti shines first as Vāmeśvarī (tvakvṛtti ranupatitā) in the pañcavāha^[1] as Pramātṛrūpa. She solidifies her desire in further flow to assume the waves of forms and names. She is then called Khecarī whose form is Antaḥkaraṇa. (rūpagrahaṇa unmukhatve cakṣurvṛttim anupatita).

Bhūcarī

Śakti then moves forward as the one, consuming the objects of cognition relating to Sparśa in quick motion and shines as Tvakvṛttirūpa and is called Bhūcarī. She adorns the form of Svabhāva.

Dikcarī

Śakti further moves with intention of consuming the manifest objects into her stomach as food with her tongue, thus governing the Rasanendriya, obstructs the jñāna of the Pratyaṅgātmā as being Śiva. She creates the Bhāvarūpa in the Ātmā. She acts as the consumer of the manifestation in the form of Saṃhṛti.

Gocarī

Śakti, having become the face, Citta, properly established in the form of Raudri (Ghrāṇavṛttipatita), whose rush outside in the form facility of Smell, Ghrāṇendriya, becomes the Bhāvasvarūpa of Antarātmā as Antaḥkaraṇa Śaktirūpa, and though being one, reflects outwardly as many in accordance with the activities of Ghrāṇaśaktirūpa. This form is called Gocarī.

Vāmeśvarī

Pañcavāhamayaśakti’s first form is Vāmeśvarī (Adyākala). She is the Brahma svarūpa who emerges from Śiva-Śaktisāmarasya as first descent in the process of creation. In the pure internal organs of cognition of the Siddhas^[2] she shines always as Brahmamaya without forms and actions related to the external activities of manifestation.
