Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 106
क्षं क्रोधे क्रमतो न्यस्य विष्णुपूजाक्षमो भवेत् । पूर्णोदर्या तु श्रीकण्ठो ह्यनन्तो विजरान्वितः ॥ १०६ ॥
kṣaṃ krodhe kramato nyasya viṣṇupūjākṣamo bhavet | pūrṇodaryā tu śrīkaṇṭho hyananto vijarānvitaḥ || 106 ||
بوضع المقطع «kṣaṃ» على موضع الغضب، خطوةً فخطوةً على الترتيب، يصير المرء أهلاً لعبادة فيشنو (Viṣṇu). وبذلك يغدو شريكانثا (Śrīkaṇṭha) «Pūrṇodaryā»؛ بل هو حقًّا أننتا (Ananta)، متّصفًا بحال عدم الشيخوخة (vijarā).

It teaches that Viṣṇu-bhakti is supported by inner purification: anger (krodha) is ritually and psychologically pacified through mantra-nyāsa, making the practitioner fit (kṣama) for Viṣṇu worship.
Bhakti here is not only emotional devotion but disciplined practice: by gradually placing the mantra-syllable and restraining anger, one becomes qualified for steady worship, which is presented as a transformative state linked with auspiciousness and freedom from decay.
It reflects technical ritual knowledge used alongside devotion—specifically mantra-bīja usage and nyāsa (a procedural placement practice), a common applied method in later Vedic-ritual and āgamic style worship manuals.
