वेदबीजस्वरूपां च ध्यायेद्वेदप्रसूं सतीम् । ध्यात्वैवं मण्डले विद्वान् त्रिकोणोज्ज्वलकर्णिके ॥ ११६ ॥
vedabījasvarūpāṃ ca dhyāyedvedaprasūṃ satīm | dhyātvaivaṃ maṇḍale vidvān trikoṇojjvalakarṇike || 116 ||
Der Gelehrte soll die keusche göttliche Mutter Satī meditieren, die die Gestalt des Veda-Samens ist und die Veden gebiert. Nachdem er so meditiert hat, soll der Weise sie im Maṇḍala schauen, auf dem strahlenden Kelchgrund, der als Dreieck leuchtet.

It teaches a precise contemplative method: meditating on the Veda’s “seed” as a divine source (Veda-prasū) and then fixing awareness in the maṇḍala’s luminous triangular center, symbolizing concentrated knowledge and creative power.
Bhakti appears here as reverential meditation on the sacred source of revelation—approaching Vedic knowledge not merely as text, but as a living divine presence worthy of focused remembrance (dhyāna) and inner worship.
It highlights mantra-yoga/ritual-visualization technique: using a maṇḍala (yantra-like diagram) and concentrating on its trikoṇa (triangle) karṇikā as the locus for dhyāna—an applied, technical discipline aligned with Vedic ritual science.
