313.12
he should place it beneath a pot or cast it into an anthill, / or under a branch of a vibhītaka tree—this yantra crushes all enemies.

He should also draw the grace-bestowing wheel on white paper or birch bark, / with lac, saffron, or camphor and sandalwood,

the lotus wheel set in a lotus, conquering death, holding the scent of heaven, / the supreme peace among peaces, bestowing good fortune and other blessings.

this is another Pratyaṅgirā, fulfilling all undertakings and the like. / He should draw the wheel of restraint and grace with sixty-four squares.
