Narada (teaching in a Vedanga/ritual-technical context, within the Narada Purana’s instructional dialogue tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches mantra-nyāsa as a sanctifying act—mapping Vedic sound onto the body so the practitioner’s senses and limbs become aligned with sacred recitation.
Though technical, nyāsa supports devotion by preparing the body-mind as a fit vessel for focused japa and worship, strengthening attentive remembrance during practice.
Śikṣā (phonetics/recitation discipline) is emphasized through “veda-āvṛtti,” indicating that placement and practice follow an authorized Vedic recitational pattern.
