THE PANCA NAMASKĀRA CAKRA Describing the sixteen segment namaskara cakra (disc) it has been mentioned in the 'Panca paramesthi ramaskāra stotra':
Solas-paramakkharabiya-bindu-gabbho jaguttamo joi. (36)
Hteti- erdia-faset uits 12€ This panca namaskara cakra, having the sixteen divine letters-arihanta-siddha-ayariya-uvajjhāya-sähuand potent nucleus and dot at its core, is the best. This panca namaskāra cakra glitters like the sun. Sri Hemacandrācārya, Subhacandrācārya and others have termed it as sodaśākṣari vidyā (the sixteen letter charishma).
Illustration : The practitioner should concentrate on each letter in each segment one by one and visualize this great disc (mahā-cakra) as rotating with glittering five potent initial letters of the five lines-a-si-a-u-sā. With pure conscience one should chant this sixteen letter mantra every morning and evening. This statement of the Acārya Śri has been clearly illustrated above :
Nasei cor-sävaya-visahara-jala-jalana-bandhana sayaim,
Cintijjanto rakkhasa-rana-rāya bhayāim bhāvena. (37)
नासेइ चोर-सावय-विसहर-जल-जलण-बंधण सयाई । चिंतिजंतो रक्खस-रण-राय भयाई भावेण ॥३७॥ Sincere meditation over the Namaskāra-cakra removes all fears such as torment of thief, violent being, venomous serpent, deluge, conflagration, oppression by enemies, afflictions of demons, unfavourable stars, ghosts, etc. The coveted assets like wealth, knowledge, divine talent, and plentitude accrue automatically with the meditation. Gods, demons, kings, etc. all bow before this maha-cakra.
Eyam kavayamabheyam khāi ya sattham paräbhavana rakkhā. (35)
एयं कवयमभेयं खाई य सत्यं पराभवण रक्खा ॥३५॥ This Namaskara cakra protects like an impenetrable armour. As illustrated above, it is like an unassailable fort with a large moat, where no outside power can enter. It is the ultimate and sure remedy for sorrow and misery.
