1.26

'Furthermore, Master of Secrets! That which the Buddhas have proclaimed, / the gate of arranging the letters: let the Buddha-son listen single-mindedly. / The letter Ka is below the throat, the letter Kha is above the palate; / the letter Ga serves as the neck, the letter Gha is within the larynx. / The letter Ca is the root of the tongue, the letter Cha is at the middle of the tongue; / the letter Ja is the tip of the tongue, the letter Jha is where the tongue originates. / The letter Ṭa is the shins, the letter Ṭha should be known as the thighs; / the letter Ṇa is spoken of as the loins, the letter Ḍa is for sitting. / The letter Ta is the final portion, the letter Tha should be known as the belly; / the letter Da is both hands, the letter Dha is placed and named the flanks. / The letter Pa is the back, the letter Pha should be known as the chest; / the letter Ma is one elbow, the letter Bha is under the next arm. / The letter Ṃ resides in the heart, the letter Ya is the mark of the concealed organ; / the letter Ra is named the eyes, the letter La is the broad forehead. / I and Ī are at the two canthi, U and Ū are the two lips; / E and Ai are the two ears, O and Au are the two cheeks. / The letter Aṃ is the phrase of awakening, the letter Aḥ is parinirvāṇa; / knowing these to be all dharmas, the practitioner achieves true awakening. / The riches of all-knowledge are constantly in his heart; / the world calls him omniscient, that is sarvajña.'
