Having placed a seat designed with kusa-grass suitable to the ascetic or a seat designed with the skin of
black antelope over the well-wiped and well-besmeared ground or in another place, the learned Guru
should assume a posture(asana) as desired by him and should keep his body straight, being north-faced.
Having smeared his both hands with sandal paste, he should purify them with astra mantra. Then touching
mutually the front and back side of each hand, he should make his form to be of nectarine nature with
the recital of mula mantra ending with ‘vaushat’. Having contemplated that he has attained a pure body
of consciousness pertaining to Siva and Sakti, he should invoke the presence of Siva who is Suprme and
above sakti tattva with the recital of mula mantra and identify the brahma mantras and the anga mantras
with the his own form.

It has been ordained that the house-holders(gruhastas) should do the kara-nyasa in the order of evolution
and the forest-dwellers(vanaprasthas) and the ascetics should do this kara-nyasa in the order of dissolution.

Identifying the mantras from the ‘isana’ to ‘sadyojata’ with the fingers from the thumb to little finger
is said to be the nyasa in the order of evolution. Idenitifying the mantras from ‘sadyojata’ to ‘isana’
with the fingers from the little finger to the thumb is said to be the nyasa in the order of dissolution.
The world is always in the cyclic order of creation and dissolution and hence this nyasa in the order
of evolution and dissolution has been recommended here.
