How are pujan yantras themselves subdivided?
Within pujan yantras there are many types again: differences come in according to the kula parampara, and within those yantras there is a classification by ashrama too — one for the grihastha, one for the virakta. He adds that Vaidik pujan is not possible in Kaliyug, so what is done is the Agam-ukta or Puranokta vidhan, Agam meaning the tantric vidhan.
Purnabhisheka, Krama Diksha and, rarely, Samrajyabhisheka — the sequence differing between Srikula and Kalikula
Beyond Shaktabhisheka, a matured sadhaka may receive Purnabhisheka (full initiation), Krama Diksha (step-by-step initiation into mantra kramas), and, rarely, Samrajyabhisheka (coronation initiation, the highest lineage authority) — with the specific sequence varying by Kula, such as Srikula (centered on Lalita Tripurasundari) or Kalikula (centered on Kali).
