The Description of the Worship of Rāma and Others
Rāmādi-pūjā-vidhāna
रमासीतापदं ङेंतं द्विठांतो जानकीमनुः । अग्रेः शार्ङ्गं च सम्पूज्य शरान्पार्श्वद्वयेऽर्चयेत् ॥ १५ ॥
ramāsītāpadaṃ ṅeṃtaṃ dviṭhāṃto jānakīmanuḥ | agreḥ śārṅgaṃ ca sampūjya śarānpārśvadvaye'rcayet || 15 ||
ரமா-சீதையின் பாதங்களை நிறுவி, இரு ‘ഠ’ முடிவுடைய ஜானகீ மந்திரத்தால்; முதலில் முன்னால் சார்ங்க வில்லைக் கண்ணியமாகப் பூஜித்து, பின்னர் இருபுறமும் அம்புகளை அர்ச்சிக்க வேண்டும்।
Narada (instructing in a technical/ritual-vidhi section, traditionally within the Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue frame)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: vira
It frames devotion as precise, reverent worship: honoring Ramā–Sītā along with Viṣṇu’s divine implements (Śārṅga and the arrows) expresses complete surrender to the Lord’s power, protection, and grace.
Bhakti here is enacted through orderly upacāra and mantra-guided worship—placing sacred names/words correctly and venerating the Lord’s āyudhas as extensions of His presence.
A technical focus on syllabic/phonetic specification (e.g., “dvi-ṭhā”) and mantra-placement (nyāsa/vidhi), reflecting śikṣā-type precision applied to ritual practice.
