Narada (instructional voice within the Vedāṅga/technical section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It formalizes mantra-practice by stating ṛṣi (seer), chandas (metre), and devatā (deity), then directs the practitioner to complete the fivefold ‘aṅgas’ and culminate in meditation on the Supreme Lord.
Even in a technical Vedāṅga setting, the goal is devotional absorption: after the procedural limbs are completed, the practitioner is instructed to meditate on Sureśvara—Vişṇu/Kṛṣṇa—making ritual serve bhakti and inner contemplation.
It highlights chandas (metre-identification), varṇa/syllable-based construction, and the standard mantra-viniyoga framework (ṛṣi–chandas–devatā), along with a five-limbed arrangement (pañcāṅga) used in ritual/nyāsa-style practice.
