I'm surprised you'd ask that. They're very common mantras. Unless you mean the permutations. They're just bijoddhara mantras--extracted bijas--a common way to permutate mantras, based on simple rules. Just before TM was introduced in India, a compendium of Mantra Shastra in encyclopedia form was published in Hindi, Sanskrit and Bengali. It connected mantra-yoga with the then known laws of physics. The series was such the rage, that it was condensed into a one volume version (from the original six volumes) and even translated into English. TM in it's current form came out right after this popular book, the Japasutram, was published. Many of the English buzzwords associated with TM can be found in the English version.
