Mantra-Māhātmya and Sādhana of Kārtavīryārjuna
Nyāsa, Yantra, Homa, and Dīpa-Vrata
मायाकाशद्वयं वामनेत्रचंद्रयुतं शिवा । वेदादिकामचामुंडाः स्वाहा तु पूसबिंदुकौ ॥ ९० ॥
māyākāśadvayaṃ vāmanetracaṃdrayutaṃ śivā | vedādikāmacāmuṃḍāḥ svāhā tu pūsabiṃdukau || 90 ||
“Śivā” được kết hợp với cặp “māyā–ākāśa”, và tương ưng với Mặt Trăng nơi mắt trái. Các năng lực mang danh “Veda”, “Ādi”, “Kāma” và “Cāmuṇḍā” nên được quán tưởng theo vị trí riêng; còn “Svāhā” thì đặt cùng hai bindu thuộc Pūṣan.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches a precise contemplative mapping (nyāsa) where divine powers and mantra-elements (like bindu and svāhā) are visualized in specific loci, aligning inner perception with cosmic deities such as the Moon and Pūṣan.
By prescribing disciplined remembrance and placement of divine names and powers, it turns ritual visualization into sustained devotion—training the mind to dwell on the deity’s form and attributes with steadiness.
Ritual-application knowledge: correct use of “svāhā” (yajña formula), and technical mantra anatomy (bindu, placements/nyāsa) linked with deity-correspondences—typical of Narada Purana’s Vedanga-oriented material in Book 1.3.
