Encyclopedic Reference: {"reference_type":"Procedure","entry_title":"Udbhavā-Mantra Garbhādhāna: Ātma-bīja in Hṛt-sampuṭa and Devī-garbha-niyojana","lookup_keywords":["garbhādhāna","udbhavā","ātma-bīja","hṛt-sampuṭa","devī-garbha"],"quick_summary":"By prior visualization of the paternal principle and by deploying the Udbhavā force with the heart-enclosed ātma-bīja, the sādhaka ritually implants potency into the Goddess-womb—an inner/outer generative consecration."}
Concept: Creation is ritually reenacted: śiva-tattva (father principle) + śakti (womb) mediated by bīja-mantra; the heart is the operative altar where seed is sealed and projected.
Application: Use disciplined visualization (bhāvanā) with bīja placement at the heart; treat ‘implantation’ as controlled mantra-projection, not mere imagination—maintain purity and sequence.

FAQs
It teaches a tantric-style visualization and mantra application: meditating on the paternal generative principle, energizing the ātma-bīja within the heart ‘sampuṭa’ (sealed inner locus), and ritually ‘implanting’ that energized potency into the Devī’s womb.
Beyond mythology, the text preserves operational ritual technology—mantra-nomenclature (e.g., “Udbhavā”), inner-locus visualization (heart-sampuṭa), and generative rites—showing the Agni Purana’s coverage of practical esoteric procedures alongside broader dharma and cosmology.
The instruction frames conception as a sanctified, consciously directed act: aligning paternal power, inner mantra-seed, and the Devī’s creative matrix to generate spiritually ‘purified’ creation and merit through disciplined intention and ritual correctness.
