Mantraśodhana, Dīkṣā-krama, Guru-Pādukā, Ajapā-Haṃsa, and Ṣaṭcakra-Kuṇḍalinī Sādhana
अनाहतेऽर्कपत्रे च कादिठांतार्णसंयुते । शुक्ले शूलाभयवरसधाकलशधारिणे ॥ ८७ ॥
anāhate'rkapatre ca kādiṭhāṃtārṇasaṃyute | śukle śūlābhayavarasadhākalaśadhāriṇe || 87 ||
Trong Anāhata (hoa sen tim), trên cánh sen như mặt trời, kết hợp các âm chủng tử từ “ka” đến “ṭha”, hãy quán tưởng vị thần trắng rực—cầm tam xoa, kết ấn vô úy và ban ân, lại nâng bình cam lộ (amṛta).
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada the technical procedure of mantra-nyasa/dhyana)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It instructs a heart-centered (Anāhata) meditation where sacred syllables (varṇas) are ritually placed (nyāsa) and the deity is visualized with protective and grace-bestowing attributes, indicating inner purification and focused devotion.
By prescribing a clear dhyāna—visualizing a compassionate, boon-giving, fear-dispelling form—the verse channels emotion and attention into reverent contemplation, a core method for stabilizing bhakti in ritual practice.
It reflects mantra-śāstra/ritual application closely tied to phonetics and syllabic order (Śikṣā and Vyākaraṇa in practice), using an akṣara-group (‘ka’ to ‘ṭha’) for nyāsa as a technical aid in worship.
