For the presence of the particular mantra-deity in the maṇḍala, these are declared, each more potent than the last, to be the causes of that presence: abundant ritual action; the supreme implement, namely flowers and the like; the place, a seat and so forth; the diagram, a trident, lotus, and the like; the configuration, the particular object of meditation; the self-kindled mantra; the yogin intent on meditation; and the connection of the knower endowed with absorption through single-pointed devotion to That.
