2) pancavidhanam krtyesu parayana

The word parayana here has two meanings, i.e., devoted to and dependent
The five functions referred to are creation (utpatti), preservation (stithi), destruction (laya) annihilation(tirodhana) and causing reappearance (avirbhava by anugraha). In the Sakti sutras these five functions of the Goddess are called abhasana, rakti, vimarsana, bijavasthapana, and vilapana respectively.
