Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada, within Vedanga/ritual-technical context)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It presents nyāsa as an inner safeguarding discipline: by installing the deity through mantra on one’s limbs, the practitioner sacralizes the body and establishes a protective spiritual boundary (svātma-rakṣā).
Bhakti is expressed here as embodied remembrance—devotional presence is not only mental but ritually enacted by placing the deity on the body, making the practitioner’s life and senses instruments of worship and protection.
It highlights mantra-prayoga (applied mantric procedure): using specific padas (phrases) for aṅga-kalpanā and performing a structured pañcāṅga-nyāsa as a practical ritual method for protection.
