Please reproduce the relevant text in full  in the Nyasa, than some part. I don't think what you have cited is not any part of the body, as the word is not found in Shabdakalpadruma or VS Apte's English Dictionary. If you are sure, there is no print error, you may have to refer to any commentary available on the text.

[Venkata Sriram]

Namaste,

 

The area between the breasts & armpit.  While doing the nyasa, you should stretch your thumb & index finger and place the same below your left & right armpits.  The nyasa at the right side should be done with your right hand thumb & index finger; the nyasa at the left side should be done with your left hand thumb & index finger.

 

BTW, one should be extremely careful while doing mahAshODa nyAsa and one should be initiated in mahAshODashi vidya and should undergo tAntrika mahApUrNAbhiSEka. 

 

While performing this nyAsa, the bowels should be clean as one is invoking mAtrka, graha, nakshatra, 64 yoginis onto oneself. 

 

If your curiousity is just for academic purpose, then it is OK.

May i have any book which tells everything about mahadhodhanyasa in hindi or english

[Venkata Sriram]

Namaste,

This forms a part of elaborate srichakra navavarana archana vidhAna.  This nyAsa paddhati is given in detail in yogini-hridaya, nityAshODashikArNava tantra, nityOtsava of umAnandanAtha, jnAnArNava tantra, gandharva tantra, parashurAma kalpa sUtra.  Most of these are printed by Chaukhamba.

Some of the nyAsAs vary from sampradAya to sampradAya which again depends upon which guru-parampara one belongs to.  So, it is better to seek a guru who is initiated in srIvidyA AmnAya krama and learn these nyAsAs in detail.  

The word "chOrakUpa" comes in "shriSTi-nyAsa paddhati" of shrI-krama upAsana parampara where the mUlavidya is placed on brahmarandhra, phAla, karNa, ghrANapuTa,gaNDa, danta-pankti, Urdhwa & Adhara OSTha, jihvA, chOrakUpa, priSTa, sarvAnga, hridaya, stana-dvaya,udara,linga respectively.

I request Sumit to produce the source from which he took the word.

Some works define it as कण्ठाधः ।

As Prabhakara Das said, it is mentioned in mahAShoDhAnyAsa.

But, I was unable to find the same mahAShoDhAnyAsa in nityAShoDashikArNava, etc. as shrIrAma claimed. What is described there is called as ShoDhAnyAsa.
mahAShoDhAnyAsa is present in kulArNava-s that part which is lost - is mentioned in some paddhati-s.
So, the problem persists. You can not even decide that chorakUpa is correct place for nyAsa without tantra-pramANa.
The meaning thing is superficial if you are trying to get the correct place of nyAsa. First, you should decide that the place is according to tantra-s or at least nibandha-s, which are otherwise called paddhati-s. Then we will see what the word means.

If you wish to get some help from original books, which are mainly in Sanskrit, you should hear what H N Bhat requested, and never neglect it.

No one will try to help if one can't even tell us about the source of question!!

Namaste,

 

Here is the link to nityOtsava of umAnandanAtha.

In the "shriSTinyAsah" (vide page no. 76), it is mentioned.

Namaste,

 

Shri.Karapatri Swamin in his couple works like srividya-ratnaakara & srividya-varivasya has taken parashurama kalpa sutra and nityotsava for reference.  Infact, srividya-ratnaakara is the concised edition of nityotsava which was later edited by his chief discple dattatreyanandanatha.

 

Right now, i don't have those two works of karapatriji with me as i have given it to one of my friends.  Once i get back, would refer.

Namo NamaH,
The first page of Mahashodhanyasa(Srikrama) from Sri Vidya Ratnakar
of Pujya Karpatri ji where the word'chorkUpe' appears is enclosed for
reference, alongwith the word 'KanThaadhaH' also appears therein.

Namasthe Sri Rajamji,
The Ist page of the work which I have attached with my mail is from
"Srividya Ratnaakara".As the name suggests the book contains a lot
about SV worship.
I understand that you wish to know about SV Nyaasaas only though there
are different nyaasaas for different deities.
I am attaching it's title page and some pages of index so that you can
know if it is the work you are seeking as well as availability of the
book.The book was first published in 1972 and its revised edition has
been published in 2012 where most of the printing and other errors
have been rectified.You can have the book from the publisher image of
which is also attached.
If you wish to know about the importance of Mahashodhanyaasa please
read about Sri Bhaskara Rai Makhin's life the great SV upaasaka.Many
of the learned scholars in this forum have also hinted about the
nyaasa in the foregoing discussion as well as about various books to
be referred.
Jai Sri lalithe
