In the heart of the enemy of Mura, dear one, dharma; on the breasts, the right and the true; in the mind, the moon; on the chest, Sri with a lotus in her hand; in the throat, the Saman chants and all their tones. On the arms, the deathless ones with Indra at their head; in his ears, the quarters; on the head, heaven; in the hair, the clouds; in the nostrils, the wind; in the eyes, the sun; and in the mouth, fire. In the speech, the metres; in the taste, the lord of waters; in the brows, what forbids; in the eyelashes, what enjoins, and the day and the night of the highest Person; on the forehead, anger; and on the lower lip, greed.

In the touch, desire, king; in the seed, the waters; on the back, wrongdoing; in the strides, sacrifice; in the shadows, death; in the laughter, maya; and in the hairs of the body, the kinds of plants. Rivers in the channels, stones in the nails, the unborn in the understanding, the companies of the gods and the sages in the breaths, and in the body all beings, the still and the moving: so the hero saw.
