षट्कोणांतर्लिखेन्मूलं साध्यार्णं केशरे स्वरैः । बाह्येऽष्टवर्गयुक्पत्रं पद्मभूमिपरावृतम् ॥ १४१ ॥
ṣaṭkoṇāṃtarlikhenmūlaṃ sādhyārṇaṃ keśare svaraiḥ | bāhye'ṣṭavargayukpatraṃ padmabhūmiparāvṛtam || 141 ||
شش کون کے اندر مول منتر لکھے؛ کیسر پر سادھْی منتر کے حروف کو سَوروں سمیت رکھے۔ باہر کنول کی پنکھڑیوں پر اشٹ ورگ کے حروف لکھ کر اسے پدم بھومی سے گھیر دے۔
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada the technical ritual layout)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It gives a precise yantra-vidhi: spiritual efficacy is linked to correct geometric placement (ṣaṭkoṇa, padma) and correct phonetic placement (vowels and syllable-groups), showing that mantra works through disciplined form and sound.
Bhakti here is expressed as reverent, exact worship—devotion becomes a structured offering where the deity is invoked through mantra-sound (mūla, sādhyārṇa) and honored through a lotus-diagram arrangement.
It highlights phonetic/letter-science used in ritual (Śikṣā-style attention to svara vowels and varga groupings) applied to mantra-writing and yantra layout, a technical feature of Narada Purana’s third pada.
