== आदिविद्योद्धारः ॥ Construction of Adividya ==
The Devi Stuti is followed by a beautiful construction of the Adividya (mantra) 'kaeilahrim; hasakahalahrim; sakalahrim' through the following verse.<blockquote>कामो योनिः कामकला वज्रपाणिर्गुहा हसा मातरिश्वाऽभ्रमिन्द्रः । पुनर्गुहा सकला मायया च पुरुच्येषा विश्वमाताऽऽदिविद्योम् ॥१४॥<ref name=":3" />
kāmo yoniḥ kāmakalā vajrapāṇirguhā hasā mātariśvā<nowiki>'bhramindraḥ । punarguhā sakalā māyayā ca purucyeṣā viśvamātā''</nowiki>dividyom ॥14॥</blockquote>Translation: Love, womb, love's part, the bearer of the thunderbolt, the cave; ha-sa, the wind, the cloud, Indra; again the cave; sa-ka-la with maya - So runs the full primeval science or adividya begetting all.
Here, each word symbolises a letter as follows:
