Bhuvaneśī (Nidrā-Śakti) Mantra-vidhi, Nyāsa–Āvaraṇa Worship, Padma-homa Prayogas, and the Opening of Śrī-Mahālakṣmī Upāsanā
इन्द्रकोणं लसद्दंडकुंडिकाक्षगुणाभयाम् । गायत्रीं पूजयेन्मन्त्री ब्रह्माणमपि तादृशम् ॥ २५ ॥
indrakoṇaṃ lasaddaṃḍakuṃḍikākṣaguṇābhayām | gāyatrīṃ pūjayenmantrī brahmāṇamapi tādṛśam || 25 ||
في جهة إندرا (الشرق)، على سالك المانترا أن يعبد غاياتري المتلألئة—حاملةً العصا وقارورة الماء (كونديكا)، ممسكةً بالمسبحة، مُظهِرةً مُدرا التعليم ومانحةً الأمان من الخوف؛ وكذلك يعبد براهما على الهيئة نفسها.
Narada (teaching in a technical-ritual context, consistent with Book 1.3 Vedanga-oriented instruction)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It prescribes a precise devatā-dhyāna (deity visualization) for mantra-sādhana: worship Gāyatrī in the eastern quarter with specific attributes, and honor Brahmā similarly—linking mantra, direction, and iconography into a focused contemplative ritual.
Bhakti here is expressed as reverent upāsanā: the practitioner approaches Gāyatrī and Brahmā with clear form-meditation and worship, cultivating steadiness, sacred attention, and surrender through disciplined ritual devotion.
It highlights ritual procedure tied to directionality (dik/koṇa), mantra-practitioner protocol, and devatā iconography—practical knowledge used in Vedic-aligned worship and visualization methods.
