Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramĀjñāvedha (आज्ञावेध) refers to the “piercing of the command”.—The appropriate mantras engender the piercing of the inner Wheels by the Command (ājñā). For example, referring to the mantra called Twelve Verses, the Kubjikāmatatantra says: “This group of ten and two verses is the plane of supreme nectar. When this is recited the Mothers are always aroused. Immediate possession takes place, and (the one who recites it) becomes a poet. Once this is recited, the accomplishment, which is the Piercing of the Command (ājñāvedha) and everything else, takes place”.
