This is the Sudarśana, the great circle. In its middle, in the hub, — the ferrying one: the imperishable one-syllable Nārasiṃha syllable. On the six petals — the six-syllable Sudarśana; on the eight — the eight-syllable of Nārāyaṇa; on the twelve — the twelve-syllable of Vāsudeva; on the sixteen — the sixteen vowels, from the head of the alphabet, with the dot; on the thirty-two — the thirty-two-syllable king of mantras, the Nārasiṃha, in the anuṣṭubh. And this circle called Sudarśana grants all desires, is the door of liberation, is made of ṛcs, of yajuses, of sāmans, of Brahman, of immortality. Before it sit the Vasus, on the right the Rudras, behind the Ādityas, on the left the Viśvedevas; in the hub — Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara, and at the sides — the sun and the moon.

The most detailed paragraph of the Upaniṣad: the diagram is charted entire.
In the middle is the one-syllable seed of Nṛsiṃha, and it is named tāraka, “the ferrying one”.
Then by rings: six petals — the mantra of Sudarśana; eight — “oṁ namo nārāyaṇāya”; twelve — “oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya”; sixteen — the vowel sounds; thirty-two — the mantra-rāja itself.
To the reader of the Rāma-tāpanī this chart is familiar to the smallest detail. There on the lotuses of the diagram the same mantras were written: the eight-syllable of Nārāyaṇa, the twelve-syllable of Vāsudeva, the alphabet around.
Two books build different diagrams and inscribe in them one and the same.
Note the placing of the gods: the Vasus in front, the Rudras on the right, the Ādityas behind, the Viśvedevas on the left — those very thirty-three whom the litany enumerated severally.
And in the hub, together with the seed, — Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara.
That is, the triad is set not at the sides but in the middle, by the syllable. And the sun and the moon at the flanks, like two luminaries by an axle.
The last definition deserves a separate word: amṛta-maya, “woven of immortality”. The diagram is made not of lines.
