Narapatijayacarya 2.10

"Māyādyāḥ" [verse 25]: from that very [source arise] the divisions of the diagrammatic wheel beginning with Māyā: square, crescent, triangle, double triangle, and circle. From that very [source arise] the five sensory objects beginning with sound: smell, taste, form, touch, and sound. From that very [source arises] the fivefold group of elements beginning with earth: earth, water, fire, wind, and space. From that very [source arise] the five arrows of Kāma, having the nature of drying, deluding, inflaming, tormenting, and crushing. "Piṇḍa" [verse 26]: the designation 'piṇḍa' belongs to the infant stage; the designation 'pada' belongs to the youth; the designation 'rūpa' belongs to the young adult; the designation 'rūpātīta' belongs to the aged; the designation 'nirañjana' belongs to the deceased. This technical nomenclature of the sound divisions is to be learned exclusively from the guru, from the mouth of the guru. Just as in the name Sadānanda there is the sound 'a', therefore the moraic sound of Sadānanda is 'a'—in this manner sounds are to be known in the names of all.

The phoneme-sound diagram.

One should write the phonemes from 'ka' to 'ha' beneath the vowels, omitting ṅa, ña, and ṇa,

(One should write the phonemes beginning with 'ka' and ending with 'ha' beneath the vowels, omitting ṅa, ña, and ṇa)

in order of horizontal rows into thirty-five cells.

Under whichever vowel the initial phoneme of a person's name stands,
that vowel is declared here to be the phonemic sound of that phoneme.

The phonemes ṅa, ña, and ṇa are not declared, for they do not occur at the beginning of a name;
if they do appear, then they should be known respectively as ga, ja, and ḍa.
