The Exposition of Nṛsiṁha Worship-Mantras, Nyāsa, Mudrās, Yantras, Kavaca, and Nṛsiṁha Gāyatrī
मधूकपुष्पैरिष्टं स्यात्स्तम्भनं धात्रिखण्डकैः । दधिमध्वाज्यमिश्रां तु गुडूचीं चतुरङ्गुलाम् ॥ ८४ ॥
madhūkapuṣpairiṣṭaṃ syātstambhanaṃ dhātrikhaṇḍakaiḥ | dadhimadhvājyamiśrāṃ tu guḍūcīṃ caturaṅgulām || 84 ||
On dit qu’une préparation fermentée (iṣṭa) faite avec des fleurs de madhūka est bénéfique ; et des morceaux de dhātrī (āmalakī) produisent un effet de stambhana (astringent, stabilisant). De plus, il faut prendre de la guḍūcī de quatre aṅgulas, mêlée à du caillé, du miel et du ghee.
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, within the Vedanga/technical-science section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
In the Vedanga-oriented portion of the Narada Purana, the verse frames bodily regulation through disciplined, measured preparations—supporting dharma by sustaining health and steadiness needed for study, ritual, and devotion.
It does not teach bhakti directly; rather, it supplies practical support—health-preserving discipline—so a practitioner can maintain regular worship, japa, vrata, and scriptural learning without obstruction.
It highlights technical, applied knowledge: named preparations (iṣṭa), functional actions (stambhana), and precise traditional measurement (four aṅgulas), reflecting the Purana’s instructional style in allied sciences.
