Saṅdhyā-ādi Nitya-karma-Vidhi

Avec des mantras commençant par Oṁ et se terminant par « netra », et avec les Noms divins à partir de Keśava, qu’on accomplisse le nyāsa sur la bouche et le nez ; puis, avec l’index (pradeśinī) et « Anāmaya », qu’on le place sur les yeux et les oreilles.
Narada (teaching in a technical/ritual context, within the Narada Purana’s Vedanga-oriented section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It teaches nyāsa—sanctifying the senses by touching specific organs while reciting Vishnu’s names—so speech, breath, sight, and hearing become aligned with mantra and devotion.
Bhakti here is practiced as embodied remembrance: Vishnu’s names (beginning with Keśava) are ritually installed on the sense-organs so that everyday perception supports continuous devotion.
It highlights applied ritual technique—mantra-nyāsa and precise anga-sparśa (touch-points), reflecting the technical discipline associated with Vedic ritual practice and correct mantra usage.
