English

On a smooth surface that matches, divide the top and bottom into twenty small parts, and the horizontal into eleven parts. From top to bottom in order, the head has three parts, Ha (ཧ་, Ha, ha, Ha) has two parts, Ksha (ཀྵ, Kṣa, ksha, Ksha) and Ma (མ་, Ma, ma, Ma) have three parts, La (ལ་, La, la, La) and Va (ཝ་, Va, wa, Va) each have two small parts, Ra (ར་, Ra, ra, Ra) has one and A (འ་, A, a, A) has two. The sun seat has one, the moon and Rahu (སྒྲ་གཅན།) both have one part, making the twenty small parts complete. The horizontal letter bodies, although determined to be three small parts, are more beautiful if half a part is extended outward. Ya (ཡ་, Ya, ya, Ya) has two legs, and the other letters each have one leg. All eight legs should each be only one small part. The sun seat should be about three letters long. The crescent moon, bindu (ཐིག་ལེ།), and the lotus seat at the bottom, etc., should be made as beautiful as possible.
