विमुंचेद्दक्षिणे पात्रमध्ये चाग्रे कृताग्रिकाम् । पात्रदक्षिणदिग्देशे मुक्त्वां गुलचतुष्टयम् ॥ ८० ॥
vimuṃceddakṣiṇe pātramadhye cāgre kṛtāgrikām | pātradakṣiṇadigdeśe muktvāṃ gulacatuṣṭayam || 80 ||
दक्षिण भाग में—पात्र के भीतर तथा उसके अग्रभाग में—कृताग्रिका (गुच्छयुक्त अर्पण) को रखना चाहिए। फिर पात्र की दक्षिण दिशा में चार गुल (लड्डू/गोलक) रखकर विधि आगे बढ़ती है।
Narada (instructing in a technical/ritual context within Book 1.3)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It emphasizes disciplined, direction-conscious ritual order—showing that dharmic action is performed with precision, honoring prescribed placements rather than improvisation.
While not a direct bhakti verse, it supports bhakti in practice by insisting that worship and offerings are done carefully and reverently, aligning outer ritual exactness with inner devotion.
Ritual-technical knowledge: directionality (dik), vessel layout (pātra), and precise placement of prepared items—skills associated with procedural disciplines used in Vedic rites.
