Saṅdhyā-ādi Nitya-karma-Vidhi
लक्ष्मीयुतं विद्युदाभं बहुभूषायुतं भजेत् । एवं ध्यात्वा न्यसेच्छक्तिं श्रीकामपुटिताक्षरम् 1. ॥ १०० ॥
lakṣmīyutaṃ vidyudābhaṃ bahubhūṣāyutaṃ bhajet | evaṃ dhyātvā nyasecchaktiṃ śrīkāmapuṭitākṣaram 1. || 100 ||
Hãy phụng thờ (quán niệm) thần linh cùng với Lakṣmī, rực sáng như tia chớp và trang sức bằng vô số bảo vật. Quán tưởng như vậy rồi, hãy thực hành Śakti-nyāsa với âm/nhóm chữ được “niêm phong” bởi các thần chú của Śrī và Kāma.
Narada (instructional passage within a technical/ritual section, traditionally framed in dialogue with Sanatkumara lineage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It links inner visualization (dhyāna) with outer/ritual installation (nyāsa), teaching that divine power (Śakti) is awakened by contemplating a Lakṣmī-sahita, radiant form and then sealing the mantra-syllables with auspicious forces (Śrī and Kāma).
Bhakti here is expressed as reverent contemplation of the deity’s auspicious attributes—Lakṣmī, brilliance, ornaments—followed by disciplined mantra-practice, showing devotion as both love-filled remembrance and precise sādhana.
It highlights ritual-technical knowledge used in mantra practice—especially nyāsa (placing/installation of mantra-śakti) and puṭita-akṣara (mantric ‘encasing’ of syllables), a procedural aspect aligned with applied śāstra/ritual methodology.
