The Exposition of Nṛsiṁha Worship-Mantras, Nyāsa, Mudrās, Yantras, Kavaca, and Nṛsiṁha Gāyatrī
ज्वालिने मालिने दीप्तदंष्ट्राय अग्निने पदम् । त्राय सर्वादिरक्षोघ्नाय च नः सर्वभूपदम् ॥ १०१ ॥
jvāline māline dīptadaṃṣṭrāya agnine padam | trāya sarvādirakṣoghnāya ca naḥ sarvabhūpadam || 101 ||
Dâng lên Hỏa Thần rực cháy, kết tràng hoa, nanh sáng chói—“jvāline māline dīptadaṃṣṭrāya agnaye”—lời chân ngôn này. Xin Ngài che chở chúng con, Đấng diệt trừ mọi loài quỷ hại từ thuở ban đầu; xin làm nơi nương tựa và chỗ nâng đỡ của muôn loài cho chúng con.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada a protective/mantric formula within the technical stream of Book 1.3)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: vira
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It invokes Agni as a fierce, purifying protector—asking for safety from destructive forces (rakṣas) and affirming Fire as a universal refuge that sustains all beings.
Bhakti is expressed through surrender and praise: the devotee addresses Agni with reverent epithets and seeks protection, modeling devotional reliance on a divine power to remove obstacles.
It reflects practical mantra-usage in ritual contexts—how specific epithets and imperative verbs function as a rakṣā (protective) formula, aligning with technical disciplines associated with correct recitation and application.
