गुह्ययुग्मोरुयुग्मेषु जानुजंघास्फिजोः पुनः । कट्यां पार्श्वद्वये वामकला न्यस्येत्त्रयोदश ॥ ७५ ॥
guhyayugmoruyugmeṣu jānujaṃghāsphijoḥ punaḥ | kaṭyāṃ pārśvadvaye vāmakalā nyasyettrayodaśa || 75 ||
குஹ்யயுக்மம் மற்றும் ஊருயுக்மத்தில், மீண்டும் ஜானு, ஜங்கா, ஸ்பிஜ (புட்டங்கள்) ஆகியவற்றில்; மேலும் கடி மற்றும் இரு பக்கங்களிலும் வாம-கலாவை ந்யாசம் செய்ய வேண்டும்—இதுவே பதிமூன்றாம் ந்யாசம்.
Narada (teaching a technical nyāsa procedure in the Vedāṅga/ritual context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches bodily sanctification through nyāsa—mapping sacred power (kalā/mantra) onto the practitioner’s limbs so the body becomes a fit support for worship and concentration.
By prescribing disciplined preparatory worship (aṅga-śuddhi through nyāsa), it supports steady devotion: the devotee honors the Divine by ritual purity, focus, and reverent embodiment before japa or pūjā.
It highlights applied ritual procedure (prayoga) and mantra-nyāsa conventions—an example of technical religious science aligned with Vedāṅga-style precision in recitation and placement.
