An Isht Devi or Isht Devata isn't alone they have their own company (called Ang Devatas), and whatever work is to be done, it is all done by Ang Devatas -- main Isht Devi / Devta remains like a Queen / King. So to take help from Ang Devtas it is a good thing to do their Mantra Japa / Homa / Tarpan also. In Yantra Avaran Puja (of your deity), you may find the list of Ang Devatas.
Apart from Ang Devata, in some Guru Parampara it is said that mantra of a male or female deity shouldn't be chanted alone. For example, if you chant 100 mala of a Devi mantra then 10% of it that is 10 mala should be chanted of a male deity mantra. Or if you chant 100 mala of male deity mantra then 10 mala should be chanted of a female deity mantra, like that. Idea is to create a balance of energy by bringing up opposite pole of energy in some ratio.
Let's understand this further.
- If you chant 51 mala of Baglamukhi Mool mantra then 10% of it that is 5 mala should be chanted of Mrityunjay Bhairav mantra.
- If you chant 31 mala of Maha-mrityunjaya mantra then 10% of it that is 3 mala should be chanted of Amriteshwari mantra.
- If you chant 41 mala of Shri Vidya Panchdashi mantra then 10% of it that is 4 mala should be chanted of a Shiva mantra.
Things are different from one Guru Parampara to another, one should follow one's own Guru Parampara.
