The method of worship is the same as other practices for similar yantras. The main thing to be observed is all the necessary cleansing, such as: Cleansing of the self. Cleansing of the area. Cleansing of the mantra itself. Cleansing of the ingredients, and finally Cleansing (here this means following a certain procedure) of the deity.
4/5 Mantras and Yantras Associated with the Fifth recitation, The Namiuna Stotra
The Namiuna Stotra is believed to possess a famous 'Chintämani Mantra', which is 'hidden' some where within the stotra itself. As stated earlier, the mantra is made up of eighteen syllables of the Präkrit language. One cannot see that eighteen syllable mantra in the fifth recitation, but the mantra is as follows:
Namiuna Päsa Visara vasaha Jina Fullinga.
It is now apparent that the above mantra is the most important mantra for worshipping Pärshvanatha. This mantra can be worshipped with or without the aid of a yantra. One yantra, which incorporates the Chintamani Mantra, is given here.
The 'method' of inscribing this yantra is quite simple and it consists of forty-nine squares within the main square as shown. The eighteen syllables of the mantra are written separately in eighteen squares on the periphery of a yantra shown with the recitation No. 4. In other words you can use the yantra of recitation No. 4 which has (5x5) 25 small squares and add squares all round to make it yantra of (7 x7) 49 squares. Syllables in the squares on the outer periphery read, going clockwise:
Namiuna Päsa Visara vasaha Jina Fullinga. Bluim, Hrim, Namah
The other yantra is a very simple one. It is a circular yantra. The main seed Hrim is above the circles. Within the circles a lotus with eight petals is drawn. The lotus has it's own circle. The innermost circle within the lotus has the mantra seed Shrim inscribed on it. Below the Shrim an aspirant has to write his own name. Again the same seed Shrim is inscribed on all the eight petals of the lotus. Between the petals of the lotus a seed Aum has been inscribed in eight different places. Finally the seed Kraum is written below the yantra as shown.
Method of worshipping this yantra: One has to observe all normal cleansing rituals and then begin the worship at an auspicious time. The aspirant is then required to recite the ten thousand japa of the following mantra, Aum Hrim Shrim Bhagavate Pärshvanathay Hara Hara Svähä. The yantra given above should be inscribed on the leaf of a bhoja tree and should be anointed with one hundred and eight flowers. (The flowers should be laid on the yantra and then removed. This should be repeated one hundred and eight times.) The yantra can be wrapped with a red thread and an unmarried girl should tie the yantra on her arm or round her neck like a necklace. The method (amnäy) claims that an untimely death does not come to the person who worships this yantra.
