The vAmadeva mantra of the pa~nchabrahma-s is the mantra of the 11 rudra-s. It names a total of 11 rudra-s, an ancient number associated with the rudra-s. The shatapatha brAhmaNa of the shuklayajurveda gives a different list of rudra-s, 9 in number. Notably, this number is important in the later tAntrika tradition (e.g., navAtman bhairava and the navAtman mantra of the early Urdhvasrotas; 9^2 also underlies the structure of the vyomavyApin mantra).

9 female forms of these rudra-s are the 9 shakti-s of the central maNDala of shiva in both the dakShiNasrotas and Urdhvasrotas. They are arranged as an ogdoad in an 8-petalled lotus around sadAshiva or svachChanda-bhairava, with manonmanI as the shakti in the center alongside shiva.+++(4)+++

However, some texts, like the saiddhAntika texts, kiraNa and parAkhya, list 9 rudra-s.
These are extracted from the original 11 of the vAmadeva mantra parallel to the 9 shakti-s of rudra:

1. vAmadeva; 2. jyeShTha; 3. rudra; 4. kAla; 5. kalavikaraNa (kalAkShepa); 6. balavikaraNa (balakShepa); 7. balapramathana; 8. sarvabhutasdamana; 9. manonmana

The corresponding Śaktis extracted from this mantra include all but shreSTha and bala, suggesting that the drAviDapATha could be the older one. - GA

The parAkhya tantra, which lists slightly different variants (in brackets) of some of these rudra-s mentions explicitly that they reside with the respective shakti-s.

The sAdhaka of the nine-bIja navAtman invokes the 9 rudra-s on padmapITha-s blossoming in the chidabdhiH.

But analysis of the pa~nchabrahma-s from various sources shows that the vAmadeva yajuSh is polymorphic across different traditions:

The 9-name version:

We believe this variant goes back to the late kR^iShNa-yajurveda itself. Although the bodhAyana-s follow the taittirIya shruti, they have their own mantrapATha and prayoga with variants. They have a rite known as the pa~nchabrahma-nyAsa, which gives the vAmadeva mantra with 9 names:

vAmadevAya namo jyeShThAya namo rudrAya namaH kAlAya namaH kalavikaraNAya namo balavikaraNAya namo balapramathanAya namaH sarvabhUtadamanAya namo manonmanAya namaH ||

The 9 names are used for the rudra-sarvopachAra-pUjA in the bodhAyana payoga.

This 9-name version of the brahma-mantra was inherited by some siddhAnta-tantra-s, e.g., 1. kAlottara, which specifies it for several prayoga-s. 2. nishvAsa-kArika. The system of 9 rudra-s and 9 shakti-s is clearly derived from the bodhAyana variant. The invocation of the rudra-shakti-s specified by the female forms of the alternating names in the mantra is already seen in the bodhAyana prayoga.

The 8-name version:

OM vAmadevAya namo jyeShThAya namo rudrAya namaH kAlAya namaH kalavikaraNAya namo balapramathanAya namaH sarvabhUtadamanAya namo manonmanAya namaH ||

This is specified by the second adhyAya of the pAshupatasUtra-s. Some saiddhAntika-s prescribe this instead of the 9-name version. For example, it is explicitly provided by the deshika-s j~nAnashiva and vimalashiva, and mahArAja bhojadeva paramAra in their respective prayoga manuals.

A corrupt version of the 8-name version is also provided by the pa~ncharAtra vaiShNava sanatkumAra tantra.

The 7-name version:
OM vAmadevAya jyeShThAya namo rudrAya cha namaH | kalavikaraNAya namo balapramathanAya namaH | sarvabhUtadamanAya shrImanonmanAya namaH ||

This version is found in the sanatkumArIya pa~nchabrahma (siddha-shaMkara) tantra. Above is the version in the printed text. Its quasi-metrical variant is seen in a prayoga based on it:

vAmadevAya jyeShThAya namo rudrAya cha namaH |
namaH kalavikaraNAya balapramathanAya |
namaH sarvabhUtadamanAya manonmanAya cha ||

The more common 11, 9, and 8 name variants probably emerged early and existed side by side, depending on the theological principle onto which they were mapped.
