بِندو کے ساتھ ‘ن’ سے شروع ہونے والے حروف کا ترتیب وار نیاس کرے۔ پھر انگلیوں میں شِو کا نیاس کرے اور دونوں ہتھیلیوں میں بھی، تاکہ عافیت رہے۔ اس کے بعد اَستر نیاس کر کے اَستر منتر کے ذریعے اسے دسوں سمتوں میں پھیلا دے۔ (یوں) نِوِرتّی وغیرہ پانچ کلاّئیں پانچ مہابھوتوں کی صورت ہیں۔

Mantra: (implied) na-ma-śi-vā-ya with bindu/anusvāra placements per nyāsa-prayoga
Type: panchakshara
It teaches mantra-śarīra-bhāvanā: the sādhaka internalizes Śiva through nyāsa, establishing protection (astra) and recognizing the five kalās (powers/levels) as the subtle basis of the elemental cosmos—aligning the individual with Pati (Śiva) for purification and liberation.
Nyāsa makes the worshiper’s body a fit altar for Saguna Śiva—so Linga-pūjā is not merely external; Śiva is installed in the hands that perform abhiṣeka and offerings, and protection is invoked in all directions before approaching the Linga.
Perform kara-nyāsa (placing the Panchākṣarī beginning with “na” with bindu) on fingers and palms, then do astra-nyāsa and directional protection with the Astra-mantra, while contemplating the five kalās (starting with Nivṛtti) as corresponding to the five great elements.
