आद्यं तु जनितं कृत्वा तेनैव च निकुट्टकम् । स एव शकटास्यश्च वामश्चास्कन्दितो भवेत् ॥ ६१॥

By first performing the generated movement, one should create a ‘Nikuttaka’ with it. The same movement is also the one where the leftward side is lifted and is performed with an upward motion.

विज्ञेयं शकटास्यं तु व्यायामे युद्धमण्डलम् । पादैश्च शकटास्यस्थैः पर्यायेणाथ मण्डलम् ॥ ६२॥

The 'Shakatāsya' movement should be recognized as a part of the exercise and combat circle. It is performed in the same manner with the feet placed in the 'Shakatāsya' position, following the circular pattern in a sequence.

आद्यस्तु जनितो भूत्वा स एवास्कन्दितो भवेत् । अपसर्पी पुनर्वामः शकटास्यश्च दक्षिणः ॥ ६३॥

The first movement is generated, and then it should be performed with an ascent. The retreating movement should follow with the left side (Vāmā) and the 'Shakatāsya' on the right (Dakṣiṇa).

भ्रान्त्वा चारीभिरेताभिः पर्यायेणाथ मण्डलम् । अध्यर्धमेतद्विज्ञेयं नियुद्धे चापि मण्डलम् ॥ ६४॥

By performing the movements in a circular manner, the sequence should be completed with alternating rotations. Half of this can be understood as the technique for combat, which is also known as the combat circle (yudhha maṇḍalam).

सूचीमाद्यक्रमं कृत्वा ह्यपक्रान्तं च वामकम् । भुजङ्गत्रासितश्चाद्य एवमेव तु वामकः ॥ ६५॥

By performing the initial movement with the pointed finger, the reverse motion becomes the left position. The first movement, which induces a snake-like fear, also becomes the left position.
