Graha–Ketu–Utpāta Lakṣaṇas: Solar/Lunar Omens, Comets, Eclipses, and Calendar Rules
वरणधातुरर्केन्दू तुदते सर्वपर्वणि । विक्षेपावनतेर्वंगाद्रा हुर्दूरगतस्तयोः ॥ ८० ॥
varaṇadhāturarkendū tudate sarvaparvaṇi | vikṣepāvanatervaṃgādrā hurdūragatastayoḥ || 80 ||
إن جذر الفعل «varaṇa» (الاختيار/الستر) يَضرِب المركّبين «arka» (الشمس) و«indu» (القمر) عند كل مفصل؛ وبواسطة «vikṣepa» (الإلقاء/التشتيت) و«avanati» (الانخفاض/الإمالة) يُقال إن «Vaṅgā» و«Adrā» تبتعدان عنهما ابتعادًا شديدًا.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada within Moksha-Dharma context, using technical illustration)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
Even in a Moksha-Dharma setting, the text uses technical examples to show that precise knowledge (including Vedanga-style reasoning) can support clarity of understanding—removing confusion and aiding discernment on the path to liberation.
Indirectly: by emphasizing disciplined understanding and correct comprehension, it supports steadiness of mind—an aid to sustained Vishnu-bhakti, where clarity and focus prevent distraction.
Vyakarana-like technical operations are referenced (e.g., ‘dhātu’ usage and processes like vikṣepa and avanati), indicating the Purana’s engagement with linguistic/technical sciences alongside dharma and moksha teachings.
