Śśś󲹰 (शशिशेख�) refers to one of the 52 rays of the Svadhiṣṭhāna-Cakra which (together with the 56 rays of the Mūlādhāra) are associated with the fiery plane called Rudragranthi, according to Śaṅkarācārya’s Saudaryalaharī.—Accordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by Sādhaka) as dwelling above the six Ādhāracakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., Śśś󲹰]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the ś岹貹ñ or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with and , Nyāsa should be performed for Śrīcakrapūjā.
