Then one should chant the mantra composed of twelve syllables
[orh namo bhagavate vasudevaya]. Preceding each syllable by the
omkara, one should place the syllables of the mantra on the tips of
his fingers, beginning with the index finger of the right hand and
concluding with the index finger of the left. The four remaining
syllables should be placed on the joints of the thumbs.
