भूबिंबं च लिखेद्बाह्ये श्रीमायादिग्विदिक्ष्वपि । भूग्रहं चतुरस्रं स्यादष्टवज्रविभूषितम् ॥ १९१ ॥
bhūbiṃbaṃ ca likhedbāhye śrīmāyādigvidikṣvapi | bhūgrahaṃ caturasraṃ syādaṣṭavajravibhūṣitam || 191 ||
ବାହ୍ୟଭାଗରେ ପୃଥିବୀ-ବିମ୍ବ ଅଙ୍କନ କରିବ; ଶ୍ରୀ ଓ ମାୟା ଆଦିରୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରି ଦିଗ ଓ ବିଦିଗରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବିନ୍ୟାସ କରିବ। ଭୂ-ଆବରଣ ଚତୁରସ୍ର ହେବ ଏବଂ ଅଷ୍ଟ ବଜ୍ରଚିହ୍ନରେ ଭୂଷିତ ହେବ।
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, within Vedanga/ritual-technical teaching)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It sanctifies the worship-space by prescribing a cosmic layout: the earth-disc and square enclosure symbolize stability and order, while the eight vajras indicate protective power at the eight directional points.
Bhakti here is expressed through precise upacāra (ritual service): drawing the sacred diagram correctly becomes an act of reverent offering, preparing a pure field for deity-invocation and focused devotion.
It reflects applied ritual-technical knowledge—directional orientation (dik/vidik), measured geometric construction (square enclosure), and symbolic iconography (aṣṭa-vajra), used for accurate worship procedures.
