Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

: Shodhganga: Mantra-sādhana: Chapter One of the Kakṣapuṭatantra

īḍaԲ (पीडन, “pressing�) refers to one of the “seven means� (ٴDZⲹ) to be performed when a mantra does not manifest its effect, as explained in the 10th-century Kakṣapuṭatantra verse 1.100-102. During īḍaԲ, the practitioner steps on the written mantra, and while reciting it joined its padas upside down. If this does not work, one should move to the next step,the ṣaⲹ.

Accordingly, “[If the controlled mantra does not have an effect], one should perform the īḍaԲ (pressing). One should recite [the mantra] joined to its padas (lines of a stanza) upside down. One should meditate on the deity, who has an upside down form, and should write the with milk of the Arka tree and step on it. With [reciting] the thus formed mantra, the homa should be performed every day. Being pressed (in this way), the mantra turns modest and will have an effect. If not, one should perform the ṣaⲹ (Դdzܰ󾱲Բ)�.

Note on īḍaԲ: the Dīkṣāprakāśa supports ṃtḍaԲ (striking). Note on Arka: Āditya is a synonym of Arka (Calotropis gigantea).
