Mantra-Māhātmya and Sādhana of Kārtavīryārjuna
Nyāsa, Yantra, Homa, and Dīpa-Vrata
ध्यात्वा देवं ततो मंत्रं पठित्वांते क्षिपेज्जजलम् । गोविंदाढ्यो हली सेंदुश्चामुंडाबीजमीरितम् ॥ ९३ ॥
dhyātvā devaṃ tato maṃtraṃ paṭhitvāṃte kṣipejjajalam | goviṃdāḍhyo halī seṃduścāmuṃḍābījamīritam || 93 ||
Setelah bermeditasi kepada Dewa, hendaklah kemudian membaca mantra; dan pada penghujungnya hendaklah memercikkan (atau mencurahkan) air. Dinyatakan bahawa (mantra) itu dihiasi nama “Govinda”, mengandungi “Halī”, disertai “Indu”, serta memuatkan suku-biji (bīja) Cāmuṇḍā.
Narada (teaching in a technical/ritual context, within the Vedanga-oriented section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It links inner worship (dhyāna) with precise mantra-prayoga: meditate, recite correctly, and seal the rite with water-sprinkling, showing that devotion and ritual exactness work together.
By foregrounding meditation on the deity and invoking “Govinda,” it frames mantra practice as God-centered remembrance, not mere sound—bhakti is expressed through focused dhyāna and disciplined japa.
It reflects technical mantra-vidhi: use of mantra-elements (names/epithets, bīja like Cāmuṇḍā-bīja) and the procedural closure of a rite with water sprinkling (prokṣaṇa), a key ritual detail.
