Every deity has it's own retinue which needs to be worshipped along with the deity to get his/her full blessings, according to the vedic and tantrik scriptures. The retinue usually consists of vyuha devatas, parivar devatas, Anga-upanga-pratyanga devatas/vidyas, astra-ayudha devatas, vaahana, aasana, Navagraha - ashta dikpalas, yoginis, primordial seers of the mantra, Kshetra rakshak devatas. They all have 10% japa, havan, tarpan, Marjan and Bali adhikar. Otherwise one has to do extra amount of moola mantra japa to compensate for them. If these deities are not pleased then they can create obstacles in the path of Sadhana through mundane and spiritual problems. If they're pleased then they help the seeker in multiple ways making life easy. For higher levels of Sadhana, siddhi, atma, bramha and tatva dnyan prapti these Anga devatas are very important as they can pose problems in the growth of sadhak if not worshipped. If worshipped properly they help in cleansing, opening, activation chakras related to their energies, opening the nadis, correcting the flow of energies and most importantly taking care of mundane needs of the seeker because of which moola mantra gives faster spiritual results and seeker achieves dharma, artha, kaama and moksha.
