Kālī and Tārā Vidyās
चवर्गाद्यं बुधं श्यामं न्यसेद्वक्षस्थले बुधः । ढवर्गाद्यं पीतवर्णं कण्ठकूपे बृहस्पतिम् ॥ ४४ ॥

Bậc hành giả trí tuệ nên an trí (nyāsa) sao Thủy—màu sẫm, thuộc nhóm âm bắt đầu bằng ‘ca’—tại vùng ngực. Và an trí sao Mộc—màu vàng, thuộc nhóm âm bắt đầu bằng ‘ḍha’—tại hõm cổ (hõm trên xương ức).
Narada (teaching in a Vedanga/ritual-technical context, traditionally within Narada–Sanatkumara dialogue framing)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It links cosmic forces (grahas) with embodied practice through nyāsa, showing how mantra and visualization sanctify the body as a ritual field aligned with planetary energies.
While primarily technical (nyāsa/Jyotiṣa), it supports bhakti-oriented worship by prescribing disciplined mantra-placement that prepares the devotee’s body-mind for focused remembrance and ritual offering.
Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa and mantra-vidhi are highlighted: specific grahas are assigned syllable-groups (vargas), colors, and precise bodily locations for nyāsa in ritual practice.
