Bhu Devi Dialogue: {"is_dialogue":true,"speaker_role":"instructor","bhu_devi_state":"reverent/absorbed; receiving theological mantra","key_question":"How should Nārāyaṇa be invoked as the indwelling supreme principle when offering madhuparka, and what words properly request acceptance?"}
Mathura Mandala: {"is_mathura_related":false,"specific_site":"None","parikrama_context":"None","krishna_connection":"Implicit: Nārāyaṇa as supreme principle can underlie later Kṛṣṇa theology, but no explicit Mathurā/Kṛṣṇa marker here."}

Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"The offering to the indwelling Nārāyaṇa frames yajña as directed to the antaryāmin; the rite becomes a microcosmic yajña where all bodies are His ‘abode’ and the offering returns to the cosmic Lord.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Not explicit tusk/limb mappings; implicit yajña logic: dravya (madhuparka) + mantra offered to the ‘surāloka-nātha’ who pervades all bodies.","vedantic_connection":"Antaryāmin/paramātman doctrine: Nārāyaṇa as sarvadeha-sthita and jagat-pradhāna aligns with non-dual/qualified-nondual theism—worship of the immanent-transcendent supreme."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"theology (antaryāmin)","core_concept":"Nārāyaṇa pervades all embodied beings and is the foundational principle of the cosmos; offerings are ultimately received by Him.","practical_application":"See the divine presence in all beings; perform offerings/acts of care as service to the indwelling Lord, with explicit verbal dedication."}
