Mahāṣoḍaśī Mantra: First Line klīṁ aiṁ īṁ

After hrīṁ ह्रीं is klīṁ क्लीं, which is known as kāma-bīja. This bīja draws divine energy towards the aspirant like a magnet. This bīja is the power of attraction. Kāma here does not mean lust, but the desire for transcendental Bliss (one of the four puruṣārthas: dharma, artha, kāma and mokṣa). Attaining Her and entering into the state of Bliss are one. Kāma-bīja completes the process of desire to attain Her. It increases the level of devotion. This bīja has three parts: ka + la + am. Ka refers to desire to achieve Her Grace, la refers to contentment in one’s life, which reduces our desires and attachments, and am gives happiness and joy. There are interpretations that ka also refers to Lord Kṛṣṇa. It is the bīja through which Śiva shows His Love for Her. aiṁ After klīṁ क्लीं is aiṁ ऐं, which is known as vāgbhava-bīja. It is the bīja of Sarasvatī, Goddess of Knowledge.  It has two parts ai + ṁ. Here ṁ also acts as the dispeller of sorrow. This bīja also represents one’s Guru, who is the dispeller of ignorance and as a result of this bīja, one attains the highest spiritual knowledge. It also adds motivation, will power and dedication to the aspirant. This bīja is the cause for spiritual intellect (buddhi), the highest level of spiritual knowledge. It directly takes an aspirant to the chosen Deity by increasing his level of consciousness. īṁ In the above bījas, kāmakalā īṁ ईं is hidden. Kāmakalā can be explained through the innermost triangle of Śrī Cakra around the bindu (the innermost dot in Śrī Cakra). This dot represents Mahākāmeśvara-Mahākāmeśvari, who are identical in all respects. They are seated in this dot known as bindu. Creation takes place from the bindu because of Their union, resulting in the innermost triangle. The three sides represent Prakāśa (Light of Śiva), Vimarśa (diffusion of the Light of Śiva done by Śakti) and third side of the triangle represents “I am” and “this” (aham and idam). Thus, because of kāmakalā, these bījas become capable of creation.
