Bhuvaneśī (Nidrā-Śakti) Mantra-vidhi, Nyāsa–Āvaraṇa Worship, Padma-homa Prayogas, and the Opening of Śrī-Mahālakṣmī Upāsanā
वायुकोणे परश्वक्षमाला भयवरान्विताम् । यजेत्सरस्वतीमच्छां रुद्रं तादृशलक्षणम् ॥ २७ ॥
vāyukoṇe paraśvakṣamālā bhayavarānvitām | yajetsarasvatīmacchāṃ rudraṃ tādṛśalakṣaṇam || 27 ||
Ở góc Vāyu (Tây Bắc), nên phụng thờ Sarasvatī thanh tịnh, tay cầm rìu và tràng hạt, kết ấn vô úy và ấn ban ân; và cũng nên phụng thờ Rudra với những tướng trạng phân biệt như vậy.
Narada (instructional narration within a technical/ritual section to the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It links sacred space (directional placement) with inner purity: Sarasvatī as pure knowledge and Rudra as transformative power are installed in the Vāyu corner, indicating that right orientation and right symbols support clarity, protection, and auspicious results in worship.
Bhakti here is expressed through precise upāsanā—worship with correct forms, gestures, and placement—showing that devotion is strengthened when reverence is paired with scriptural accuracy in the deity’s iconography and ritual arrangement.
It reflects applied ritual science and temple/altar protocol (a Vāstu- and kalpa-style concern): directional assignment (vāyukoṇa), iconographic attributes (paraśu, akṣamālā), and mudrās (abhaya, vara) used for correct installation and worship.
