नमो नक्षत्रनाथाय शर्वरीपतये नमः । जैवातृकाय सततं द्विजराजाय वै नमः
namo nakṣatranāthāya śarvarīpataye namaḥ | jaivātṛkāya satataṃ dvijarājāya vai namaḥ
நட்சத்திரங்களின் நாதனுக்கு நமஸ்காரம்; இரவின் அதிபதிக்கு நமஸ்காரம். உயிரளிப்பவனான ஜைவாத்ரிகனுக்கு எப்போதும் நமஸ்காரம்; த்விஜராஜனான சந்திரனுக்கு நமஸ்காரம்.
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇava-khaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A star-filled night sky over Ayodhyā; the Moon presides above constellations. A devotee chants, offering white flowers; four kalaśas stand guard in the quarters.
The Moon is praised as regulator of time and vitality; honoring him aligns one with dharmic rhythm and steadiness of mind.
Ayodhyā remains the māhātmya setting; the rite is taught as part of Ayodhyā’s sacred observances.
This is part of the Moon’s praise-names (nāma-stuti) to be recited during Candrapūjā.
