Mantra-Māhātmya and Sādhana of Kārtavīryārjuna
Nyāsa, Yantra, Homa, and Dīpa-Vrata
कूर्माग्नी शांतिबिंद्वाढ्यौ वह्नि जायांकुशं ध्रुवम् । ऋषिः पूर्वोदितोनुष्टुप्छंदोऽन्यत्पूर्ववत्पुनः ॥ ९५ ॥
kūrmāgnī śāṃtibiṃdvāḍhyau vahni jāyāṃkuśaṃ dhruvam | ṛṣiḥ pūrvoditonuṣṭupchaṃdo'nyatpūrvavatpunaḥ || 95 ||
Pour les mantras «Kūrma-agni», «Śānti-bindu-vāḍhya», «Vahni», «Jāyā-aṅkuśa» et «Dhruva», le voyant (ṛṣi) est le même que celui mentionné plus haut; le mètre est l’Anuṣṭubh; et les autres attributions rituelles sont de nouveau telles qu’énoncées auparavant.
Narada (instructional narration within Vedanga/ritual-technical context; dialogue frame traditionally with Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It emphasizes disciplined mantra-practice: knowing the ṛṣi and chandas anchors a mantra in its revealed tradition, ensuring the recitation is aligned with śāstra and yields steadiness (dhruvatā) and peace (śānti) in ritual aims.
Indirectly: by prescribing correct mantra-context (ṛṣi and Anuṣṭubh metre), it supports orderly worship where devotion is expressed through accurate recitation and ritual procedure rather than improvisation.
Chandas (Vedic prosody): it specifies Anuṣṭubh as the metre and indicates that other technical items (like viniyoga/nyāsa conventions) follow earlier instructions—typical of Vedanga-style ritual manuals.
