Miscellaneous Notes
A yantra is a geometical diagram engraved or drawn on metal....etc. Yantra-s are different from one anothe, each intended for a particular deity alone. Even in case of a particular deity, there are different yantra-s for different purposes. It is held that a deity apprehended in the form of a mantra gets a representation in the yantra drawn to specific formulas pertaining to it. The word, digbandhana, in the title of the text under notice, means that the yantra, which is the body of the deity, is so circumscribed that the powers (śakti) of the deity are confined to the yantra, in order that the aspirant could have enough concentration on the yantra avioding distractions. Rudrakālī is the deity whose yantra is dealt with briefly in this text
