Mantra-Māhātmya and Sādhana of Kārtavīryārjuna
Nyāsa, Yantra, Homa, and Dīpa-Vrata
तिलतैलं तु तादृक् स्यात्कनीयोऽजादिजं घृतम् । आस्यरोगे सुगंधेन दद्यात्तैलेन दीपकम् ॥ ११२ ॥
tilatailaṃ tu tādṛk syātkanīyo'jādijaṃ ghṛtam | āsyaroge sugaṃdhena dadyāttailena dīpakam || 112 ||
నువ్వుల నూనె కూడా అలాగే ఉపయోగపడుతుంది; ఇంకా తక్కువ స్థాయిలో మేక మొదలైన వాటి పాలతో చేసిన నెయ్యి వాడవచ్చు. నోటి రోగాలలో సుగంధ ద్రవ్యాలతో కలిపిన ఔషధ నూనెతో దీపక-ప్రయోగం చేయాలి.
Narada (teaching technical/medical applications within Book 1.3)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: karuna
It presents dharmic “prayoga” knowledge—how sacred tradition preserves practical, body-supporting disciplines alongside spiritual instruction, treating health as a support for sadhana.
Indirectly: by prescribing care for speech and the mouth (the instruments of japa, kirtana, and recitation), it supports devotional practices that depend on a healthy capacity to chant and study.
Applied technical instruction (prayoga) using recognized substances—sesame oil and goat-milk ghee—showing a tradition of procedural knowledge aligned with the Purana’s Third Pada focus on technical sciences.
