षोदान्यासादयो न्यासा न्यासखण्दे समीरिताः ।
अन्तर्यामक्र्मश्चैव भैर्यागक्र्मस्तथा ॥ ४ ॥
ṣodānyāsādayo nyāsā
nyāsakhaṇde samīritāḥ ।
antaryāmakrmaścaiva
bhairyāgakrmastathā ॥ 4 ॥
Nyāsa
means the assignment of different parts of the body to different deities. By
doing so, Śrī Devi becomes the whole body itself. Shoḍanyāsa is of two
kinds – laghu (simple) and mahā (great). In lagunyāsa Śrī Devi is assigned to
different parts of the body in different forms – Ganesha, yogini-s, constellations
etc. (The second half will be taken up for meditation when the next verse
dealing with Pooja Kanda is discussed).
