Jyotiṣa-śāstra Saṅgraha: Threefold Division, Gaṇita Methods, Muhūrta, and Planetary Reckoning
नतांशास्तजांसाने प्राधृतस्तद्विवर्जित । शब्देंदुलिप्तैः षड्भिस्तु भक्तानतिर्नतिर्नतांशदिक् ॥ १६२ ॥
natāṃśāstajāṃsāne prādhṛtastadvivarjita | śabdeṃduliptaiḥ ṣaḍbhistu bhaktānatirnatirnatāṃśadik || 162 ||
Lorsque le « natāṃśa » est solidement établi et purifié de ce défaut contraire, alors, par six unités syllabiques « ointes de la lune du son », la prosternation du bhakta devient un namaskāra accompli, une salutation sacrée vers toutes les directions.
Narada (within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue on moksha-dharma and devotional disciplines)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents reverent bowing (nati/namaskāra) as a disciplined spiritual act: when purified of defects and supported by sacred sound, it becomes a complete, all-encompassing expression of devotion that aids moksha.
Bhakti is shown not only as emotion but as a refined practice—humility expressed through prostration, strengthened by correct and luminous sacred sound (śabda), making the devotee’s surrender steady and effective.
The verse points to śabda-discipline—phonetic/recitational correctness (Śikṣā) and the technical handling of syllabic units in mantra-like practice—suggesting that proper sound supports devotional efficacy.
