Glory of Puruṣottama: Pañcatīrthī Observance and Narasiṃha Worship
सकृन्न्यस्तं दहेत्सर्वं वृजिनं जन्मकोटिकम् । विषेन्यस्तं विषं हन्यात्कुष्ठं हन्यात्तनौ स्थितम् ॥ १११ ॥
sakṛnnyastaṃ dahetsarvaṃ vṛjinaṃ janmakoṭikam | viṣenyastaṃ viṣaṃ hanyātkuṣṭhaṃ hanyāttanau sthitam || 111 ||
ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ನ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಿದರೂ ಕೋಟಿ ಜನ್ಮಗಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಾಪ ದಗ್ಧವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ವಿಷದ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟರೆ ವಿಷವನ್ನು ನಾಶಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ; ದೇಹದಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಸಿದ ಕುಷ್ಠವನ್ನೂ ಹರಣಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ।
Narada (teaching within Uttara-Bhāga tīrtha/mahatmya discourse; traditionally framed in dialogue with Sanatkumāra lineage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It asserts the extraordinary purificatory power of a single correctly performed sacred act (nyāsa/placing/applying in a ritual-tīrtha context), capable of burning vast karmic demerit and restoring spiritual purity.
By emphasizing immediate grace-like efficacy—one sincere, properly directed act linked to sacred power can transform karma—echoing the Bhakti theme that wholehearted reliance on the divine/sacred quickly purifies and protects.
It implies correct ritual application (prayoga) and precision of performance—areas supported by Vedāṅga disciplines like Kalpa (ritual procedure) and Śikṣā/Vyākaraṇa (accurate recitation and wording) to ensure the intended fruit.
