Hanumān-mantra-kathana: Mantra-bheda, Nyāsa, Yantra, and Prayoga
पुच्छाकारे सुवस्त्रे च लेखन्या क्षुरकोत्थया । गन्धाष्टकैर्लिखेद्वूपं कपिराजस्य सुन्दरम् ॥ १८१ ॥
pucchākāre suvastre ca lekhanyā kṣurakotthayā | gandhāṣṭakairlikhedvūpaṃ kapirājasya sundaram || 181 ||
Trên tấm vải đẹp được cắt theo hình chiếc đuôi, dùng bút làm từ cây kṣura, hãy vẽ—bằng tám thứ hương liệu—dáng hình mỹ lệ của Kapirāja (Chúa tể loài khỉ).
Narada (teaching ritual/technical procedure to the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It prescribes a precise devotional act—creating Hanuman’s sacred form with sanctified materials—showing that bhakti can be expressed through disciplined, consecrated ritual workmanship.
Bhakti here is practiced as upāsanā: the devotee prepares an auspicious base (cloth), uses pure instruments, and invokes the deity through a fragrant, reverent depiction of Kapirāja.
It reflects technical-ritual knowhow—materials selection, preparation, and prescribed procedure—aligned with śrauta/smārta practicalities (kalpa-style discipline) rather than abstract philosophy.
