Translation by Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada
One must then chant
the mantra of six syllables (om vishnave namah). One should place
the syllble "om" on his heart, the syllable "vi" on the
top of his mead, the syllable "sa"
between his eyebows, the syllable "na" on his turf of
hair (sihka), and the syllable "ve"
between his eyes. The chanter of the mantra should
then place the syllable "na" as being
a weapon. He should thus become the perfect personification
of the mantra. There after,
adding visarga to the final syllable "ma," he should
chant the mantra "mah astraaya phat"
in all directions, beginning from east. In this
way, all dirctions will be bound by the
protective armor of the mantra.
