The Classification and Explanation of Yakṣiṇī Mantras
Kālī and Tārā Vidyās
दीपिका सासना चन्द्रयुगस्त्रं मनुरीरितः । मुनिरक्षोभ्य उद्दिष्टश्छन्दस्तु बृहती मतम् ॥ ३७ ॥
dīpikā sāsanā candrayugastraṃ manurīritaḥ | munirakṣobhya uddiṣṭaśchandastu bṛhatī matam || 37 ||
أمّا الفِدْيَا/المانترا المسماة «ديبيكا»، فالتطبيقُ المقرَّر لها هو «تشاندرايُغاسترا»؛ ويُذكر أن الرِّشي هو مانو، والموني المُشار إليه هو أكشوبهيا؛ والوزنُ (تشاندَس) يُفهَم أنه «بْرِهَتِي».
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada on technical classifications of mantras/metres)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It preserves the orthodox method of handling Vedic-style formulas by naming their authoritative identifiers—r̥ṣi (seer), associated sage, and chandas (metre)—so the recitation and application remain aligned with śāstric tradition.
Indirectly: it supports bhakti-based practice by emphasizing correct śāstric procedure for sacred recitation; disciplined mantra-usage is presented as a reliable support for devotional life rather than a random or improvised practice.
Chandas (Vedāṅga of prosody): the verse explicitly assigns the Bṛhatī metre and identifies the mantra’s r̥ṣi (Manu), reflecting the standard ritual-technical framework used in mantra viniyoga (application).
