"description": "A polychrome charm (yantra<\/i>) against lightning made of seven intertwined letters (kūṭākṣara<\/i>, monogram script): ya<\/i>, ra<\/i>, va<\/i>, la<\/i>, ma<\/i>, kṣa<\/i> and ha<\/i>. The verso<\/a> bears a four-line stanza in the sragdharā<\/i> metre (with caesurae marked by a small dot), listing each letter and explaining its symbolism (for the Sanskrit text, see Transcription): \"The letter ya is what we call the air, ra is fire, va is water: the circle we call earth is the letter la, on it ma is what is called Mount Meru, above the latter is kṣa, which has the nature of the means to wisdom; from ha, the sky, is the spotless purity that is emptiness. This seven-letter diagram is [such a] group: bow incessantly to this excellent one that wards off the fall of thunderbolt!\"<\/p>",
