The code continues, and here one can see how it is built.
The letters are named not by name but descriptively: antya — “the last”; aṅghri — “the foot”; īśa — “the lord”; viyat — “the void, the ether”. Each word points to a certain sound by an agreed chart.
So the seed syllable of Varāha is written down.
The verse's first half speaks of quite another business: graha-māraṇa-karman — the rite of “slaying the seizure”. Graha means “grasping” and denotes what has seized a man: an illness, a possession, an evil star.
The mantra of Nṛsiṃha is used against such things, and this is common knowledge: He is the one who tears apart the seizer.
Let me say here what should be said once for all. Our book is not theology alone; it knows the rite, the healing and the protection too, and is not ashamed of it. The first Upaniṣad spoke outright of the “application at one's own wish”.
But all of this is placed at the edge of the diagram, as guards at the gates. In the middle — He and She.
