तत्रस्थवायुबीजोत्थवायुना च तदूर्द्ध्वकम् । त्रिकोणं मंडलं वह्नेस्तत्रस्थवह्निबीजतः ॥ ६८ ॥
tatrasthavāyubījotthavāyunā ca tadūrddhvakam | trikoṇaṃ maṃḍalaṃ vahnestatrasthavahnibījataḥ || 68 ||
ત્યાં સ્થિત વાયુ-બીજથી ઉત્પન્ન વાયુ દ્વારા તેને ઉપર ઉઠાવવું. અને ત્યાં જ સ્થિત વહ્નિ-બીજથી અગ્નિનું ત્રિકોણાકાર મંડળ પ્રગટ થાય છે.
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches an inner ritual method where elemental forces are invoked through bīja-mantras: Vāyu elevates and purifies, and Agni manifests as a triangular maṇḍala to burn impurities—supporting disciplined sādhana and subtle-body purification.
While technical, it supports Bhakti by prescribing purification and focused visualization so the mind becomes fit for steady remembrance and worship; the controlled rise of Vāyu and the presence of Agni symbolize refining attention before devotion.
Mantra-prayoga and ritual-technical visualization: using bīja-syllables, forming a specific geometric maṇḍala (fire as a triangle), and sequencing elemental operations—typical of the technical instruction stream preserved in Book 1.3.
