The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
प्रणवो हृदयं सीतापतये तदनंतरम् । रामाय हनयुग्मांते वर्मास्त्राग्निप्रियांतिमः ॥ ८७ ॥
praṇavo hṛdayaṃ sītāpataye tadanaṃtaram | rāmāya hanayugmāṃte varmāstrāgnipriyāṃtimaḥ || 87 ||
प्रणव (ॐ) को हृदय में न्यास करे; तत्पश्चात् सीतापति को अर्पित करे, फिर राम को; और अंत में ‘ह-न’ युग्म के साथ अग्निप्रिय (अग्न्यस्त्र) को—इस प्रकार कवच और अस्त्र का विन्यास करे।
Narada (in instruction mode, within a technical/ritual exposition to the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: vira
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches a disciplined, inwardly oriented mantra-practice where Oṁ is established in the heart and the devotee ritually aligns body and speech with Śrī Rāma, forming a protective kavaca (spiritual armour) through nyāsa.
Bhakti here is expressed as intimate remembrance and surrender: addressing Rāma as “Sītāpati” and “Rāma” while placing sacred sound in the heart makes devotion embodied, not merely verbal.
It reflects mantra-vidhi and phonetic precision (Śikṣā): specific syllables and sequence (ending with a defined syllable-pair) are prescribed for nyāsa, showing the technical method of applying mantras as kavaca/astric protections.
