Harihara Revelation and the Kurukshetra Tirtha Cycle: Sthanu in Vishnu and the Sanctification of Saptasarasvata
गकारं हृदयं प्रोक्तं सिंहो वसति तत्र च मासो भाद्रस्तथा प्रोक्तः पञ्चमं पत्रकं स्मृतम्
gakāraṃ hṛdayaṃ proktaṃ siṃho vasati tatra ca māso bhādrastathā proktaḥ pañcamaṃ patrakaṃ smṛtam
يُعلَن أن المقطع «ga» هو القلب؛ وهناك يقيم برج الأسد (Siṃha). ويُسمّى الشهر كذلك Bhādra (Bhādrapada)، ويُتَذَكَّر هذا بوصفه «patraka» الخامس (ورقة/مقطع).

The text presents a fixed traditional mapping rather than a philosophical proof. Such assignments are typical of Purāṇic and Tantric-adjacent schemata where sound (śabda), body (deha), and cosmos (jagat) are coordinated for contemplation and ritual efficacy.
Here it functions as the rāśi (zodiac sign) Leo, paired with a month (Bhādrapada) and a body locus (heart), indicating an astrological-cosmological correspondence rather than zoology.
Purāṇic usage often abbreviates Bhādrapada as Bhādra. The intended referent is the lunar month Bhādrapada in the standard Indian calendrical system.
