Prior to verse #4, there is a half-verse:

षोदान्यासादयो न्यासा न्यास्खण्दे समेरिताः ॥ ४॥

ṣodānyāsādayo nyāsā nyāskhaṇde sameritāḥ ॥ 4॥

This verse discusses the various deva-s as presiding over the various parts of the body.

In some versions, this half verse will be missing.

Here, we take the second half of the previous verse as the first half this verse and continue.

अन्तर्यामक्र्मश्चैव भैर्यागक्र्मस्तथा ।

महायागक्रमश्चाव पूजाखन्दे प्रकीर्तिता ॥ ५ ॥

antaryāmakrmaścaiva bhairyāgakrmastathā ।

mahāyāgakramaścāva pūjākhande prakīrtitā ॥ 5 ॥

Mahāyāga is the enlarged form of Bahiryā̄ga with the addition of eight types of worship – ashṭaga.

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).
