The Lords of Anga-mantras should be meditated as having five faces and ten hands, as adorned with
the crescent moon and with various kinds of ornaments and various kinds of garlands , as besmeared with
ointment of perfumes, as sixteen years old , endowed with charming lineaments and ever-lasting
youthfulness, as appearing with delighted face and handsome form, as having three eyes in each face and
as seated in svastika-posture. The Lords of five Brahma-mantras and six Anga-mantras should be
invoked from the head and other limbs and from the heart and other parts of Sadasiva, the Primal Lord
and should be lead to the corresponding locations. Alternaively, Isana and the Lord of Netra-mantra may
be worshipped in the north-east petal of the lotus-seat, by the Guru. Thus, the Guru should worship the
retinue Lords of the first enclosure, as present around Lord Sadasiva.

Or, the the nine Saktis, Vama and others, may be worshipped in these locations. The Adisakti known as
Manonmani should be worshipped as mounted on the left lap of Lord Sadasiva. Invocation and the
subsequent sacraments should be done with the relevant mantra pertaining to each Lord and each Sakti,
in the due order. It has been systematized by the learned Acharyas that out of the eight sacraments
beginning with invocation, only six sacraments should be done for eah retinue Lord and each Sakti, leaving
out avakunthana(safe-guarding) and amrutikarana(immortalizing). Since these retinue Deities are considered
as the limbs of the Primal Lord, there is no need for the separate arrangement for snapana and lights.
