The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga

我はナーラーヤナに礼拝する。クンダの花と月のように清らかに輝き、蓮華の眼をもち、法螺貝と円盤を携え、蓮の御手に棍棒と蓮華を執り、若蓮の花鬘に照り映える御方。ヴェーダにより大牟尼たちに知られ、天上の宝飾に麗しく、天香の塗香により御身は光り、あらゆる恐怖を除き、黄衣をまとい、阿修羅の敵たる御方に、我は帰依し奉る。
Narada (hymnic praise within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It presents Nārāyaṇa as the supreme, sage-knowable Reality whose remembrance and worship remove all fear; the verse functions as a devotional invocation that aligns the mind with mokṣa-oriented bhakti.
Bhakti is expressed through direct vandanā (reverential praise) of the Lord’s auspicious form and qualities—purity, radiance, protection, and supremacy—showing that heartfelt contemplation and worship are themselves a liberating discipline.
While not teaching a specific Vedāṅga rule, it reflects the Vedāṅga-aligned use of precise mantra-style epithets and iconographic terms (śaṅkha-cakra-gadā-padma) for correct devotional recitation and visualization in ritual practice.
