Harihara Revelation and the Kurukshetra Tirtha Cycle: Sthanu in Vishnu and the Sanctification of Saptasarasvata
गकारं हृदयं प्रोक्तं सिंहो वसति तत्र च मासो भाद्रस्तथा प्रोक्तः पञ्चमं पत्रकं स्मृतम्
gakāraṃ hṛdayaṃ proktaṃ siṃho vasati tatra ca māso bhādrastathā proktaḥ pañcamaṃ patrakaṃ smṛtam
A sílaba «ga» é declarada como o coração; e ali habita o Leão (Siṃha). O mês é igualmente dito Bhādra (Bhādrapada), e isto é lembrado como o quinto «patraka» (folha/segmento).

The text presents a fixed traditional mapping rather than a philosophical proof. Such assignments are typical of Purāṇic and Tantric-adjacent schemata where sound (śabda), body (deha), and cosmos (jagat) are coordinated for contemplation and ritual efficacy.
Here it functions as the rāśi (zodiac sign) Leo, paired with a month (Bhādrapada) and a body locus (heart), indicating an astrological-cosmological correspondence rather than zoology.
Purāṇic usage often abbreviates Bhādrapada as Bhādra. The intended referent is the lunar month Bhādrapada in the standard Indian calendrical system.
