10. Dasvi jyoti kamla pragti
Om ayoni shankar omkar roop, kamla devi sati parvati ka savroop. Haath mein sone ka kalash mukh se abhay mudra. Shwet varn seva pooja kare, narad indra. Devi devatya ne kiya jai onkaar. Kamla devi poojo keshar paan supari, chakmak cheeni phatri til guggal sahstr kamlon ka kiya hawan. Kahe gorakh, mantar japo jaap japo riddhi siddhi ki pahchaan ganga gaurja parvati jaan. Jiski teen lok mein bhaya maan. Kamla devi ke charan kamal ko aadesh.
Om hareem kaleem kamla devi fat swaha:
Suno parvati hum matsyender poota, aadinath naati, hum shiv swaroop ulti thapna thapi yogi ka yog, das vidhya shakti jano, jiska bhed shiv shankar hee payo. Shiddh yog maram jo jaane virla tisko prsann bhayi mahakalika. Yogi yog nitay kare pratay use varad bhuvneshvari mata. Sidhasan siddh, bhaya shmshani tiske sang baiti baglamukhi. Jogi khad darshan ko kar jaani, khul gaya tala brahmand bhairvi. Nabhi sthane udiyyaan bandhi Manipur chakar mein baiti, chhinmasta rani. Omkar dhayan lagya trikuti, pragti tara bala sundri. Patal jogan (kundlini) gagan ko chadi, jahaan par paithi tripur sundry, Aalas modey, nindra tode tiski rakhsha devi dhoomavanti kare. Hansa jaye daswen dware devi maatangi ka aavagman khoje. Jo kamla devi kee dhooni chetaye tiski riddhi siddhi se bhandar bhare. Jo dashvidha ka sumiran kare, paap punay se nyara rahe. Yog abhyaas se bhaye siddha aavagman nivrate. Mantar pade so nar amar lok mein jaaye. Itna das mahavidhya mantar jaap sampooran bhaya. Annat kot siddhon mein, godavari trayambak kshetar anupaan sheela, avalgad parvat par baith shri shambhujati guru gorakshnaath jee ne pad kath kar sunaya shri naathji guruji ko aadesh . Aadesh.
