The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
भुक्त्यै मुक्त्यै सितां ध्यायेदुच्चाटे नीलरोचिषम् । रक्तां वश्ये मृतौ धूम्रां स्तंभने कनकप्रभाम् ॥ ३० ॥
bhuktyai muktyai sitāṃ dhyāyeduccāṭe nīlarociṣam | raktāṃ vaśye mṛtau dhūmrāṃ staṃbhane kanakaprabhām || 30 ||
لأجل المتاع الدنيوي ولأجل التحرّر (موكشا) فليتأمّل الإله في هيئة بيضاء. ولـ«أُتشّاطا» (الطرد) فليتخيّل هيئة زرقاء متلألئة؛ ولـ«فَشْيَا» (الإخضاع) هيئة حمراء؛ وفي شؤون «مِرتيو» (الموت) هيئة بلون الدخان؛ ولـ«ستَمبهَنا» (التثبيت) هيئة ذات لمعان ذهبي.
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, within a technical/ritual-vidhi context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches that dhyāna (meditative visualization) is applied with precise attributes—especially color and radiance—according to the intended karma (aim), distinguishing between higher goals like mukti and pragmatic ritual aims.
While framed as a technical instruction, it underscores focused contemplation on a chosen divine form (dhyāna) as a disciplined practice; the verse contrasts worldly aims (bhukti) with the highest aim (mukti), reminding the practitioner to orient devotion toward liberation.
It reflects applied ritual-vidhi—how mantra and dhyāna are matched to specific rites (uccāṭa, vaśya, stambhana)—a technical strand aligned with auxiliary disciplines used in correct performance of Vedic/Paurāṇic rituals.
