Meaning
The same six verses are now placed on the six limbs. Only their opening words are given, marked “०” for “and the rest”: recite each verse in full, in the order of the kara-nyāsa. Touch the heart, the head, the crest, the shoulders crossed, the eyes and forehead, and end with the clap for the weapon, as in the Navārṇa Vidhi.
