The lord said: After fixing the limbs thus, the devotee shall meditate upon the faces (of Śiva). Beginning with the face in the east and ending with the face upward he shall fix the syllables beginning with na in due order. Thereafter he shall perform the Nyāsa rite of the six limbs in the respective places with delight. The Nyāsa shall be accompanied with the words Namas (obeisance), Svāhā, Vaṣaṭ, Huṃ, Vauṣaṭ, and Phaṭ. The Praṇava is known as the heart; the syllable na the head; the syllable ma the tuft; the syllable “Śi” the coat of mail; the syllable “vā” the eye; the syllable “ya” the “Astra” (missile). After fixing the letters on the limbs as mentioned the devotee shall bind the quarters.
