Sūta said: All through the rite the preceptor shall lead the disciple by holding his fist; when there is combination with equinotical [equinoctial?] transit[10] the Kalās beginning with Nivṛtti and ending with Śivā combine in one place. Otherwise, they remain separate. O leading brahmin, at the tip of the nose and at the crest of the head along with the back part, the yogins should forbear [?].
