The serpent represents the speaking mind - it enslaves - hence the tied up man. The 'knots of time' represent being enslaved by the concept of time.
What is the number of the dot grid used to create the kolam. The numbers could be important.
For example: Is it a 5 3 1 or a 7 6 5 4 ? There are many variations.
Not sure why Vedic Astrology needs to be known to break this chant, but I imagine it has something to do with the God(s) worshiped at this temple and the time period it was built and when the chant was enacted on that Vault Door ?
If we don’t get the tone right, we are not granted passage. Well… don’t we all have issues with this in and throughout life ? How many times has our tone or our frequency been off toward a situation due to our personal hardships and issues in life. The pains we feel inflicted that get sealed within our being. We sit and writhe and coil around and around wrapping ourselves further into knot after knot… wondering why can’t we break free. How does our bell sound… is it cracked giving off an unwanted melody or does it ring in perfect harmony ?
A snake has a forked tongue - it is divided. Words, concepts, speech, language, divides that which is undivided.
Man is imprisoned by duality - non duality is freedom

The main problem with speaking is when it has been learned you never get any peace - even if the mouth is not moving - there is still talking (in the head).

My suggestion is to think about the astrology chanting in conjunction with the diagram of the kolam.
I do believe the Kolam could be important. One would need to know the original orientation of the kolam.

I've even found material that during the drawing of the kolam a particular rythm is formed. That music and the kolam synchronizes with each other. So back to the sound of the chant... makes this more interesting to me.

So look between two thoughts.
On duality, I understand that is a creation of intellect more then anything. A human thing. Of the mental plane of occult/eastern philosophy, it seems built only of the thoughts of man. If humans were not here, the earth would not have a mental plane.
Ruled by Vishnu, the all-pervasive god connected to akasha (space), existing everywhere. He brings expansion, wisdom and open-mindedness. Symbol: Three footprints, trident, ear.

Because parans are based on examining the times when stars and planets are at the key moments of their diurnal movement
If at any stage a star is on one of the four angles (r ising, culminating, setting, or on the nadir), while at the same time a planet is also on any of these four places, then the star is linked to the planet via
If a star or a planet is on any of these four point s at the same time as a star or planet is on the same point or any of the other three poin ts, then those two plants are in paran. Example A 90-degree aspect that forms a astrological aspect to a planet to a star. Usually said to be in positions on the power points, 1,4,7,10 houses. As the day moves along, at one point or another if a planet is in paran to a star, it will enci rcle all these points in a 24-hour period. Now as stars and Earth are not on a single plane and Earth rotates as well as revolves around the Sun, the stars position moves in al l sorts of directions across the horizons. Example is that as the latitude changes, so does the horizon line of the circle changes its orientation ship to the stars. The important poi nt is that the full circle of the horizon is used, not just the eastern and western points of the ecliptic. As already mentioned, the mathematical system used by the ancients star gazers is what is called parans. It is a single concept. Imagine you have a 360 degree clear view of the horizon and picture it as a starry night. If you look eastward you will see stars rising. They will be rising on a half the circle of the horizon, not just due east. As you watch a star that is rising northeast of you, there may be, at the same ti me, another star in the southeast also rising. The two stars rising simultaneously are said to have a paran relationship, aspected by the horizon line, which is the straight line that joins the stars together. Similarly, a star may be rising as a star is setting, and this line is the mathematical
formulation that we are using and so these two stars are also in paran relationship.
So we need the date the temple was built and an astrological chart of where the 27 fixed stars were located during that time if its in the past. Not sure I have a program to do this.
If it is in the future, a different date, that has not been figured out yet, well... we gota find out that date in order to locate where the 27 Fixed Stars will be.

I like the beat pacing idea or coordinates... The coordinates would go in line with the 27 Fixed Star stuff
A phone # !? Who we gona call on this one ? lol

Nothing wrong with thinking and using words. Gotta remember that in temples humans are also involved therefore thoughts and words and understanding are involved too.
Keep in mind that intellect is just a branch on the tree of intelligence, and a modern one too that has it's roots in the Greek philosophers.
Just a lot of emphasis on intellectualism these days. Book-learning and philosophising is fine as far as it goes and if one likes that sort of thing. But philosophies, book-learning and theories also tend to obscure what is.
Thoughts are like pictures cut from a magazine and pasted on our window of perception. Too many thoughts and the view of the outside world is lost. That's why I said look between two thoughts to itsnowagain.
But the gods know humans think mentally so there was built a way of interfacing, shrines and temples and churches.
One can look at a temple and see it as simply an interface between humans and gods.

The thinker is thought
Now, if we see the truth of that - that the thinker is thought, that there is no thinker separate from thought, but only the process of thinking - , then what happens? If we see that there is only thinking and not a thinker trying to modify thought, what is the result? I hope I am making myself clear. So far, we know that the thinker is operating upon thought, and this creates conflict between the thinker and the thought; but if we see the truth that there is only thought and not a thinker, that the thinker is arbitrary, artificial and entirely fictitious - then what happens? Is not the process of conflict removed? At present our life is a conflict, a series of battles between the thinker and the thought - what to do and what not to do, what should be and what should not be. The thinker is always separating himself as the `me' remaining outside of action. But when we see that there is only thought, have we not then removed the cause of conflict? Then we are able to be choicelessly aware of thought and not as the thinker observing thought from outside. When we remove the entity that creates conflict, surely then there is a possibility of understanding thought. When there is no thinker observing, judging, moulding thought, but only choiceless awareness of the whole process of thinking, without any resistance, without battle, without conflict, then the thought process comes to an end.
