This invocation should be done through the path of the channel of vital air which is in the form of
luminous column. Having grasped the form of Siva and taken it out from the flowers, the Guru should
install that form within the vidya-deha which is shining forth in the Linga. The fully unfolded state of
Sakti by whose ability Lord Siva has now perceptibly become His own Master(Independent Lord) and gets
fixed in the nearest vicinity is known as ‘sannidhana’. This sannidhana should be comfirmed through the
display of hand gesture pertaining to the effecting of vicinity(sannidhana mudra). To confine the vicinity of
Siva within the Linga,without being affected by disappearance until the completion of worship(puja) – is
known as ‘sannirodha’(well effected confinement). Such sanniorodha to the pervasive Lord should be
conceived through the display of sannirodhana mudra. Just as a substance which yields happiness to the
owner is safeguarded well in this world, even so the nearest presence of Siva should be safeguarded
(avakunthana). Such safeguard should be effected through the display of avakunthana mudra.

Just as the fire, sun and other luminous bodies are capable of performing their own functions through their
own luminous rays, even so Lord Siva , the unassailable, shines forth as the performer of all cosmic
functions through the anga-mantras which originated from His own form. Of the six anga-mantras, the
hrudaya mantra denotes the ever-existing ability of Siva; siro mantra denotes His supremacy; sikha mantra
denotes His state of absolute independence; kavaca mantra denotes His protecting and shielding power;
astra mantra denotes His Sakti by which He drives away the inimical and obstructing forces; netra mantra
denotes His power of all-knowing which makes known evidently the existence of all the objects. In this
way the six supreme qualities of Lord Siva, the Creator of the worlds, have been explained here.
