Fresh English translation
Now the yantra is described for seekers of liberation who wish to attain Rāma. Mantras whose very nature is deity do not reach perfection without a yantra. Because it restrains faults such as desire and anger, it is called yantra—also an instrument beginning with restraint. First draw a six-pointed figure and then a circle. Draw eight petals and outside them a square, divine, endowed with all proper marks, and bestowing every happiness. Enclose this excellent yantra with the seed syllables of all the avatāras and worship it continually. In its centre write the intended rite clearly according to rule; write the seed again, enclosing within it the seed of Kāma.
