eteṣāṃ lakṣaṇaṃ brahman vakṣye śṛṇu samāsataḥ | mātṛkādiyutaṃ mantraṃ dvādaśābdaṃ tu yo japet ||

ഹേ ബ്രാഹ്മണ, ഇവയുടെ ലക്ഷണങ്ങൾ ഞാൻ സംക്ഷേപമായി പറയുന്നു—കേൾക്കുക. മാതൃകാ (അക്ഷരശക്തി) മുതലായവയാൽ യുക്തമായ ദ്വാദശാക്ഷര മന്ത്രം ജപിക്കുന്നവൻ ക്രമേണ അണിമാ മുതലായ ഗുണങ്ങളോടുകൂടിയ ജ്ഞാനം പ്രാപിക്കുന്നു. അല്പബുദ്ധിയുള്ളവൻ ഈ യോഗം സേവിക്കുന്നു; അവൻ സാധകരിൽ അധമൻ എന്നു പറയപ്പെടുന്നു.
I shall state, O Brahmin, their characteristics—listen briefly. Whoever repeats a twelve-syllabled mantra endowed with the mātṛkā (letters) and so forth, gradually attains knowledge accompanied by qualities beginning with aṇimā (minuteness). A person of little understanding practices this yoga; (he is) the lowest among practitioners.
