The Exposition of the Krishna Mantra (Kṛṣṇa-mantra-prakāśa): Nyāsa, Dhyāna, Worship, Yantra, and Prayoga
हुत्वा चाष्टत्तरशतं पयोऽनैः सर्पिषाप्लुतैः । स्वस्वदिक्षु बलिं दद्याद्दिशेदाचमनं ततः ॥ ८७ ॥
hutvā cāṣṭattaraśataṃ payo'naiḥ sarpiṣāplutaiḥ | svasvadikṣu baliṃ dadyāddiśedācamanaṃ tataḥ || 87 ||
Sau khi cử hành hỏa cúng (homa) đủ một trăm lẻ tám lần với sữa và thức ăn được thấm bơ tinh khiết (ghee), hành giả hãy dâng lễ bali theo đúng nghi thức ở từng phương hướng; rồi tiếp đó thực hiện ācamana (uống nước thanh tịnh) để tẩy sạch.
Narada (as the transmitter of procedural teaching within the Narada Purana’s technical/ritual section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It emphasizes completing a fire-offering (homa) with the auspicious count of 108 oblations, followed by directional bali offerings and ācamana—showing that inner intent is supported by outer ritual completeness and purification.
Though primarily procedural, it supports bhakti by prescribing disciplined offerings and purification acts that cultivate reverence, steadiness, and ritual purity—qualities that sustain devotional worship.
It reflects ritual prayoga: counted oblations (108), specified substances (milk, food, ghee), directional bali (dik-vidhāna), and purification via ācamana—core elements of kalpa-style procedural knowledge.
