द्वादशभिः कुलकम् ॥ Meaning : Imagine an eight petal lotus below the region of the navel. On the first petal place the sixteen vowels. On each of the seven remaining petals, place one each of the seven groups of consonants referred to in the earlier stanzas. On each of the eight intervening spaces between the petals, place Hrim (ही) the syllable symbolising eulogy to the liberated. On the tips of the petals, place 'Om Hrim'. In the centre of the lotus, place arham (अह); white as snow and that purifies the mind on mere utterance.
This arham should first be uttered fast in the mind; then protracted, then short, and lastly subtle. Then the sound ( Nada ) should be concieved to be entering the glands near the navel, the heart, the throat and moving further with decreasing intensity. Then it should be imagined as if the soul is immersed in waves of milky white
