Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsNavātman (नवात्मन्) or Navātmaka is the name of a formulae used in recitation [?], according to the Guhyasūtra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “[...] One should recite the navātman one lakh times … for siddhi: one who [thus] observes such an excellent observance for a year or just six months attains lowest, middling or best siddhi. But if, while observing such a vrata, someone recites five lakh times, then [that mantra] succeeds [for him] (siddhyate), and all mantras succeed for him and he attains the fruits he desires. [...]”.
