Like Samavasarana it has three enclosure walls opening out into four gateways in four directions. The gateways are decorated with green toranas. The rest of the yantra is bare without any embellishment, focusing on the main theme and purpose of the yantra. ********** The mantra consisting of Sacred letters Om, Hrim, Klim etc. is repeatedly written in a panel between two concentric circles within the inner enclosure wall. Lord Mahavira to whom all the prayers are ultimately directed, presides over the centre of the yantra with the bija mantra Hrim largely written behind him. The four entrances also bear mantras which the devotee is instructed to repeat 108 times. All the mantras written in the yantra are to be recited again and again a certain number of times, in order to achieve the fulfillment of spiritual or even material desires. www.jainelibrary.org
