Namaste Arjuna,
naM is the bija, shiM is the shakti, and oM is the kilaka.

Thank U,
guess what i saw in that book must be a misprinting, there shakti was "dam" (which i wondered why)...
Namaste Arjuna,
I have not seen this in any book, and it is what I have been told; but I have also heard daM as the Shakti of Pancakshara Mantra.
And this not an error, for daM is the Bija of Dattatreya, and Pancakshara is the Guru Datta Mantra.
Very interesting This didn't come to my mind.
Usually Datta's bija is "drAM", but yes, it is common to take first syllable as a bija also...
daM, dAM, draM, and drAM, all belong to Shri Dattatreya.
Alone, daM is the Hamsa and dAM is the Paramatman; and draM or drAM is the Datta-Bija as it appears in the 6-syllable and 8-syllable Dattatreya Mantras.
drAM is used in Srividya also where it comes to be bija of the first one of dashamudras which are used in Lalita worship. Is it accidental or some connection with Guru Datta is there?
Kara-Nyasa puts the power (i.e. Shakti) into one’s hands, and for Shiva this is generally achieved with the spectrum of shAM (i.e. Yogeshvari).

To put the Shakti of Datta into one’s hands, the bija dAM would be used in the same manner.
Namaste Arjuna,
drAM equally indicates Datta and/or Durga.
BTW do U know where and when the full vidhana of Panchakshari appeared for the first time? In Shatarudriya we have only Namah Shivaya, and even in much much later Tirumantiram (6th cent. C. E.?) i believe no viniyoga and nyasa is given (though i may be wrong).
Have U come across any sourses dealing with bijas apart from Tantrabhidhanam and Mahakala-samhita (in Allahabad edition, in one of it's volumes, there is a dictionary of bijas)?
