Kālī and Tārā Vidyās
गृहयुग्मं शिवा स्वाहा बलिमंत्रोऽयमीरितः । दद्यान्नित्यं बलिं तेन मध्यरात्रे चतुष्पथे ॥ ७७ ॥
gṛhayugmaṃ śivā svāhā balimaṃtro'yamīritaḥ | dadyānnityaṃ baliṃ tena madhyarātre catuṣpathe || 77 ||
‘گِرہ یُگم، اے شیوا، سواہا’—یہی بَلی منتر بیان کیا گیا ہے۔ اسی منتر سے روزانہ آدھی رات کو چوراہے (چتُشپتھ) پر بَلی پیش کرے۔
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, within Vedanga/ritual-vidhi discourse)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhayanaka
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It prescribes a specific bali-mantra and a precise ritual setting (midnight at a crossroads), emphasizing disciplined, rule-based observance (vidhi) as a means to maintain auspiciousness and ward off disruptive influences.
While primarily technical, it supports bhakti by showing that devotion is expressed through regulated offerings and mantra-recitation; reverence to the divine (here invoked as Śivā with svāhā) is enacted through consistent daily practice.
Ritual application of mantra (mantra-prayoga), timing (muhūrta/niyama—midnight), and location rules (deśa-niyama—catuṣpatha crossroads) are highlighted, reflecting technical dharma/kalpa-style procedure within the Narada Purana’s Vedanga-oriented section.
