ٳٲ (उत्तमसेव�) refers to “excellent worship� and represents one of the two types of Sevā (worship) which is the first of the four ܱⲹ (“m𲹲Բ�) through which the Sādhaka has to pass before the deity is realised and visualised according to the Guhyasamāja chapter 18.—Sevā (worship) is again sub-divided into two, namely, Sāmānya (ordinary) and Uttama (excellent). Of these two, the Sāmānya-sevā consists of four Vajras: first, the conception of Śūnyatā; second, its transformation into the germ-syllable; third, its evolution in the form of a deity, and the fourth, the external representation of the deity.

In the ٳٲ (excellent worship), Yoga with its six limbs should be employed. These six limbs are:

  1. ʰٲ,
  2. ٳԲ,
  3. ṇ峾,
  4. ٳṇ�,
  5. Գܲṛt,
  6. .
