आत्मसंस्थमजं शुद्धं त्वामहं परमेश्वर । अरण्यामिव हव्याशं मूर्तावावाहयाम्यहम् ॥ ३७ ॥
ātmasaṃsthamajaṃ śuddhaṃ tvāmahaṃ parameśvara | araṇyāmiva havyāśaṃ mūrtāvāvāhayāmyaham || 37 ||
Ôi Đấng Tối Thượng, Ngài an trụ trong Tự Ngã, vô sinh và thanh tịnh—con thỉnh Ngài ngự vào thánh tượng này, như ngọn lửa được khơi lên và bừng hiện giữa rừng sâu.
Narada (teaching a ritual formula for āvāhana/installation as part of Vedāṅga-linked procedure)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches that the Lord is inherently self-established (ātmasaṃstha), yet is compassionately approached through ritual invocation into a visible form, making devotion focused and accessible without denying the Lord’s transcendence.
By inviting the pure, unborn Supreme into a mūrti, the devotee creates a concrete center for reverence, surrender, and service—showing bhakti as an intimate, relational approach to the transcendent.
It reflects applied ritual science—mantra-based āvāhana used in icon-worship—aligned with kalpa-style procedural tradition (prayoga), where precise wording and intention are essential to the rite.
