In the chin are Jñāra and the two luminaries; in the throat are the Lord of wealth and the two divine physicians; then, in the palate is the king. In the shoulder of the Bull (Vṛṣa), one stands between the lotus-born and the foe of wealth; elsewhere, Jupiter and the Sun are declared to be the “lambhagas,” bearers of gain.

FAQs
The verse reflects the Purana’s method of integrating Vedāṅga knowledge—especially Jyotiṣa-style enumerations—into a Mokṣa-Dharma setting, showing that technical order (cosmic/planetary correspondences) is understood as part of the larger dharmic worldview.
Direct bhakti instruction is not explicit here; instead, the verse supports the broader Narada Purana approach where disciplined knowledge (like Jyotiṣa classifications) can serve dharma and guide a devotee’s regulated life, which in turn steadies mind and conduct for devotion.
Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa: the verse reads like a technical mapping/listing of deities/planets and their stated positions or functions (e.g., Jupiter and the Sun as ‘gain-bestowers’), consistent with astrological nomenclature used for interpreting outcomes.
