Notes:
1. Verse 1 to 7 give the distribution of the syllables to the
     chakra and other information like their region, color, etc
     and deities - Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
2. Verse 8, 9 and 10 are the triple forms of Dattatreya of
     Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
3. Verse 11, 12, 13, and 14 are more like summaries with
     explanations of the ajapA japa mantra of Hamsa.
4. The last is the closing verse.
5. Verses 11 and 12 have only three lines each as it is the
     extract or summary, a form of `at a quick glance' of
     previous verses (1 to 10) and the group of 13 and 14
     verses pertains to ajapa-japa.
