After we worship Gaṇapati, Paraśurāma says that it is better to worship the Heart of the Goddess and then worship Varahi who is a unit of time at the eyebrow center. Worship Gaṇapati at the base, Śyāmā at the heart and Vārāhī [at Ājñā], and then go to Lalitā, the Supreme Empress. And where is the Supreme Empress sitting? In the second chakra - Svādhiṣṭhāna cakra. And it is directly connected to the top. The Śakti is at the yoni center, and Śiva is at the top and they are directly connected. So this is their play.
So he [i.e. Paraśurāma] says, you start with Gaṇapati and then you go directly to Śyāmā and then Vārāhī. Śyāmā, because you should express the Mother you are going to invoke. It’s a very powerful thing, it’s not powerless. It’s got cruel elements and it’s got kind elements. So to invoke the kind elements and to make Her feel that you are a son, that you are not to be destroyed. So seek Her grace first and get nourished from Her breasts. So you first worship Goddess here [i.e. in the heart] and attract all the good things. And getting rid of all the bad things is [a function of] Vārāhī. And then you go to Lalitā.
He says don’t go directly to Her because [you may get] embroiled into the passion of sex. And it says, if you are working on the second chakra directly at the start, you get embroiled into that and you can’t get rid of that intricate burning fire; you’ll get caught in the fire and you will get burned.
So he [i.e. Paraśurāma] says, first you become the child of the Mother, take milk from Her and then move on to Vārāhī and then go on to Lalitā. Then She will be kind and compassionate. And then She will treat you as Śiva to enjoy you and not to destroy you. So that is the argument for Paraśurāma telling in the Kalpa Sūtras that this sequence should be followed.
