[sv-rituals] dvayamantrajapavidhi, caramaZlokAnusandhAna

Dear list members,

I have the following two doubts:

(1) according to the text vadhUdharmacandrikA a woman in the morning has to do the aSTAkSaramantra-japa, and then has to do the Japa of the Dvayam.
According to the text this is preceded by contemplation on the Dvayam, which is expressed in the following verses:

dvayamantrajapavidhiH
dhyAnam
indIvaradaLaZyAmaM koTisUryAgnivarcanam
caturbhujaM sundarANgaM sarvAbharaNabhUSitam
padmAsanasthaM deveSaM puNDarIkanibhekSaNam

mAtuluMgaM ca raktAbjaM darpaNaM caradaM tathA
devIM ca bibhratIMdorbhiZ cintayed iSTadAm sadA.

After that she has to do paNcapUjA
and should do Japa of the Dvayam (with "am" instead of "om").

Does one of the learned members of the list know the source of this instruction?

(2) Then follows in the text the
CaramaZlokAnusandhAnam:

karakamalanidarZitAtmamudraH parikalitonnatabarhacUDaH
itarakaragRhItavetratotro mama hRdi sannidhimAtanotuZauriH
yat prapattiM vinA sarvair yasya mAyA duratyayA

yati paribhRDho yad gItAnAm adarZayad aj¤asA
nigamapariSannedIyAMsaM sudhAmayam AZayam
jananapadavIyAtAyAtaZramApaharAM dhiyam
janayatu sa me devaZ ZrImAn dhana¤ jayasArathiH

What does this mean - in theory and practice? And what is the textual source of it?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Sincerely, Ute
