Śeṣoditya-Sūrya-nyāsa, Soma-sādhana, Graha-pūjā, and Bhauma-vrata-vidhi
विद्ये विद्यामालिनि स्यादंत चंद्रिणि कतवदेत् । चंद्रमुखि द्विठांतोऽयं विद्यामंत्र उदाहृतः ॥ ७० ॥
vidye vidyāmālini syādaṃta caṃdriṇi katavadet | caṃdramukhi dviṭhāṃto'yaṃ vidyāmaṃtra udāhṛtaḥ || 70 ||
“(Hãy xưng tụng:) ‘Ôi Vidyā, ôi Đấng kết tràng hoa Tri thức, ôi Đấng rực sáng như trăng, ôi Đấng có dung nhan trăng.’ Như vậy, với phần kết cấu thành bởi hai âm ‘ṭha’, đó được tuyên xưng là Vidyā-mantra.”
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a technical Vidyā-mantra context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It frames Vidyā (sacred knowledge) as a worship-worthy power invoked through specific epithets and a precise mantra-ending, emphasizing that spiritual learning is approached with reverence and correct formulation.
Even in a technical chapter, the verse models bhakti through direct address (vocatives) and praise—treating knowledge as divine and approached through humble, faithful invocation rather than mere intellectual effort.
Śikṣā and Vyākaraṇa: it points to correct phonetic/metrical recitation and grammatical/formal markers (the specified ending ‘dvi-ṭhānta’) as essential for a mantra’s proper usage.
