Śailādi said: Flowers shall be taken in both the hands; they shall be pressed with the thumbs. By means of the gesture of invocation, they are gradually taken from the heart upto the head, uttering the Mūla mantra along with the Hṛdaya mantra in the Pluta (prolated) note; the deity who has the form of the flame of a lamp and who has faces and hands all round is invoked very much from the spot of the Bindu and is installed as the per-vader of everything showing the gesture of pervading.
