I am sorry for that lapse.
The 'kOdi' referred here may sound like a crore.
Literally taken, it would mean seven crore mantras. But
actually the 'kOdi' denotes the 'last' or 'end'. In Siddha
parlance, it becomes the 'end-mantras'. The kOdi
mantras are joined with namas or other mantras for
a particular effect. You can say ***** *** savaha
or ***** *** vaushat for different effects. If aakarshna
is desired, then the suitable kOdi mantra is attached
If ucchaatana is required, another kOdi mantra is
joined together. Simply said, that is the one of the purposes
of the method - prayOga also, according to Siddha system.
