Mantra-Māhātmya and Sādhana of Kārtavīryārjuna
Nyāsa, Yantra, Homa, and Dīpa-Vrata
ध्यात्वा देवं ततो मंत्रं पठित्वांते क्षिपेज्जजलम् । गोविंदाढ्यो हली सेंदुश्चामुंडाबीजमीरितम् ॥ ९३ ॥
dhyātvā devaṃ tato maṃtraṃ paṭhitvāṃte kṣipejjajalam | goviṃdāḍhyo halī seṃduścāmuṃḍābījamīritam || 93 ||
Sau khi quán niệm Thần linh, rồi tụng đọc thần chú; đến cuối thì rảy (hoặc vẩy) nước. Thần chú ấy được nói là mang danh “Govinda”, gồm “Halī”, kết hợp với “Indu”, và chứa âm tiết chủng tử của Cāmuṇḍā.
Narada (teaching in a technical/ritual context, within the Vedanga-oriented section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It links inner worship (dhyāna) with precise mantra-prayoga: meditate, recite correctly, and seal the rite with water-sprinkling, showing that devotion and ritual exactness work together.
By foregrounding meditation on the deity and invoking “Govinda,” it frames mantra practice as God-centered remembrance, not mere sound—bhakti is expressed through focused dhyāna and disciplined japa.
It reflects technical mantra-vidhi: use of mantra-elements (names/epithets, bīja like Cāmuṇḍā-bīja) and the procedural closure of a rite with water sprinkling (prokṣaṇa), a key ritual detail.
