full of water on a rectangular diagram The stand is to be
indentified with the orb of the fire, the pot with the solar
orb and the water with the moon and these must as such
be worshipped with the Kalās of the fire, the sun and
the moon Ānanda-bhairava and Ānanda-bhairavī are to receive
their worship through the pot Conch and other vessels are
also to be placed in particular places The purification of
the five elements constituting the body by removing the
impurities attaching to them through the letters peculiar
to the elements and by subsequent infusion of the energy
of the Changeless Reality is to be attended to and per-
formed as a preliminary to the worship For this purification
the practitioner is to deeply concentrate in the Bindu-chakra
on the Turīyā aspect of Mahātripurasundarī After this
he has to protect himself against all sinister influences by
the Digbandhana with the mantra ॐ ह्रीं हंसः सोऽहं स्वाहा ऐं क्लीं
सौः त्रिपुरसुन्दरि मां रक्ष रक्ष.
