The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
अमुकं मे वशं पश्चादानयानलसुन्दरी । अष्टाशीत्यक्षरो मन्त्रो मुन्याद्या भैरवीगताः ॥ १०४ ॥
amukaṃ me vaśaṃ paścādānayānalasundarī | aṣṭāśītyakṣaro mantro munyādyā bhairavīgatāḥ || 104 ||
“فلاں کو میرے وِش میں کر، پھر اسے میرے پاس لے آ، اے انلَسُندری!” یہ اٹھاسی اَکشروں کا منتر ہے؛ منی وغیرہ نے اسے بھَیروی پرمپرا سے پایا ہے۔
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a technical-mantric context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shringara
It highlights mantra-śāstra as a technical discipline: mantras are defined by precise wording and akṣara (syllable) count, and their efficacy is tied to a recognized transmission (here, Bhairavī-gata).
Indirectly: it contrasts technical mantra-prayoga with the broader Purāṇic ideal that spiritual progress ultimately rests on disciplined practice and right intention; this verse sits in a technical section rather than a direct Vishnu-bhakti exhortation.
Phonetic and formal precision—counting akṣaras and preserving exact mantra wording—aligns with Śikṣā (pronunciation) and the wider technical rigor associated with Vedāṅga-style instruction.
