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
‘க’ (ga) எழுத்து இதயம் எனக் கூறப்படுகிறது; அங்கே சிம்ம ராசி வாசம் செய்கிறது. ‘பாத்ர’ (பாத்ரபத) மாதம் என்றும் கூறப்படுகிறது—இது ஐந்தாம் பத்திரகம்.

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.
