The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga
दक्षिणे वासुदेवाख्यं स्वच्छं चैतन्यमव्ययम् । वामे च रुक्मिणीं तदून्नित्यां रक्तां रजोगुणाम् ॥ ५८ ॥
dakṣiṇe vāsudevākhyaṃ svacchaṃ caitanyamavyayam | vāme ca rukmiṇīṃ tadūnnityāṃ raktāṃ rajoguṇām || 58 ||
Bên phải là Vāsudeva—thanh tịnh, là ánh sáng của Chân Thức bất hoại. Bên trái là Rukmiṇī—bạn phối ngẫu vĩnh hằng của Ngài—sắc đỏ, mang đặc tính rajas (năng lực vận hành).
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It encodes a meditational theology: Vāsudeva is contemplated as pure, imperishable consciousness, while Rukmiṇī is presented as His eternal śakti, the dynamic rajas principle—together forming a complete object of dhyāna.
Bhakti is supported by clear mental form (dhyāna): the devotee fixes the mind on Vāsudeva’s purity and eternity, while honoring Rukmiṇī as inseparable divine power, cultivating steady remembrance and reverence.
It reflects technical, rule-based dhyāna and mūrti-lakṣaṇa (iconographic specification)—a practical discipline used in ritual visualization and worship manuals aligned with the Narada Purana’s Book 1.3 technical orientation.
