Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramSvaranyāsa (स्वरन्यास) refers to the “deposition of the vowels”, according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The four groups of four are said to be, the one which begins with the first (letters) (A to Ī), the fifth (letters) (U to -), the ninth (letters) (ŀ to AI), and the thirteenth (O to A). The first group of four on the face is, along with the two cheeks, on the forehead and chin. Your second (group of four) is on the left, right, west, and east. The third deposition, that of the vowels [i.e., svaranyāsa], is at the beginning and end with the two eyes. The fourth set of four is in the row of teeth (below) and above”.
