Śeṣoditya-Sūrya-nyāsa, Soma-sādhana, Graha-pūjā, and Bhauma-vrata-vidhi
मुखे प्रविन्यसेत्साध्वी सामगानां कृपाकरम् । धरात्मजं नसोरक्ष्णोः कुजं भौमं ललाटके ॥ ८७ ॥
mukhe pravinyasetsādhvī sāmagānāṃ kṛpākaram | dharātmajaṃ nasorakṣṇoḥ kujaṃ bhaumaṃ lalāṭake || 87 ||
Ang babaeng may kabanalan ay magsagawa ng nyāsa: ilagak sa bibig ang mahabaging Panginoon ng mga umaawit ng Sāma; ilagak ang Anak ng Daigdig (Mars) sa mga butas ng ilong at sa mga mata; at ilagak si Kuja, anak ni Bhūmi, sa noo.
Narada (teaching in a Vedanga/ritual-technical context)
Vrata: Kuja/Maṅgala-nyāsa within navagraha rite
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents a nyāsa-like internalization: sacred powers (including planetary deities like Mars) are ritually ‘placed’ in specific body-points so the practitioner aligns speech, perception, and will with dharmic order.
Even in a technical Vedanga setting, devotion appears as reverent invocation—placing divine forces with faith and purity (sādhvī-bhāva), treating the body as a vessel for sacred presence rather than mere ritual mechanics.
Jyotiṣa and ritual application are implied: Mars (Kuja/Bhauma) is identified through multiple epithets and assigned to specific loci (nostrils, eyes, forehead), reflecting a codified method of ritual-astrological mapping used in mantra/nyāsa procedures.
