Description of the chapter [dvādaśākṣaravidhi]: Continuing, Viśvāmitra here treats the “king of mantras”, the twelve- syllable formula, in much the same way as before (1-23a). In a similar manner, he says, one is to handle and understand the Saṃkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha-mantras (23b-25). Also treated are the following: agniprākāramantra (26-28), viṣṇugāyatrimantra (29-44) and the śrīkarāṣṭākṣaramantra (45-53). *** [the chapter seems to be incomplete] ***
