Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a technical/vidhi passage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It prescribes a dhyāna (meditative construction) of a deity-form using mantra-syllable placement and specific iconographic markers, showing how inner visualization is aligned with precise ritual-technical rules.
Bhakti here is expressed as disciplined worship: the devotee contemplates an auspicious, vividly described form (color, implements, rosary) so the mind becomes steady and reverent, supporting focused devotion.
It reflects Vedāṅga-style technicality—especially mantra-phonetics (use of a seed syllable and vowel-length distinctions) and a jyotiṣa-like reference to a Bhṛgu-based stellar placement used in ritual specification.
