दिक्वाष्टाद्यस्तबंध्याये कुजात्खात्सत्रिके गुरुः । सात्र्यंके सन् रवेः शुक्राद्धीखगो दिग्भवारिगः ॥ १५९ ॥

ਦਿਕ੍-ਯੋਜਨਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਦੋਂ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਅੱਠਵੇਂ ਤੋਂ ਹੋਵੇ ਅਤੇ ‘ਬੰਧ੍ਯ’ ਵਿਨਿਆਸ ਹੋਵੇ, ਤਾਂ ਕੁਜ ਤੋਂ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੁਰੂ ਦਰਸਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸ਼ਨੀ-ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਿਤ ਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਵਿੱਚ, ਅਤੇ ਸੂਰਜ ਤੇ ਸ਼ੁਕਰ ਤੋਂ, ‘ਧੀ-ਖਗ’ (ਬੁੱਧ) ਦਿਕ੍-ਸੂਚਕ, ਭਾਵ-ਸੂਚਕ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਤਰੂ-ਨਾਸ਼ਕ ਬਣਦਾ ਹੈ।
Narada (as teacher within the Moksha Dharma discourse; technical aside aligned with Jyotisha/Vedanga material)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: vira
It shows that even within Moksha Dharma teaching, the Narada Purana preserves Vedāṅga-style precision—using Jyotiṣa classifications to support right timing, right understanding, and disciplined Dharma as aids to inner clarity.
Indirectly: Bhakti is strengthened when one’s life is ordered by Dharma; Jyotiṣa in the Purāṇic framework functions as a practical tool for deciding auspiciousness and resolving obstacles, thereby supporting steady devotional practice rather than replacing it.
Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa—specifically, technical mapping of planets (Guru/Budha, etc.) to directional and triadic schemes, and their functional roles such as bhāva indication and ari (enemy/obstacle) mitigation.
