The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
त्रिभिर्बीजैः पंचकूटात्मिका त्रिपुरभैरवी । ऋषिः स्याद्दक्षिणामूर्तिश्छन्दः पंक्तिरुदीरिता ॥ ४३ ॥
tribhirbījaiḥ paṃcakūṭātmikā tripurabhairavī | ṛṣiḥ syāddakṣiṇāmūrtiśchandaḥ paṃktirudīritā || 43 ||
Với ba bīja, Tripurabhairavī được cấu thành theo khuôn thức mantra năm phần (kūṭa). Bậc ṛṣi được nói là Dakṣiṇāmūrti, và thể thơ (chandas) được tuyên xưng là Paṅkti.
Narada (continuing a technical mantra-description within the Narada Purana’s Vedanga/ritual-technical section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It encodes the standard mantra-śāstra identifiers—bīja count, kūṭa-structure, ṛṣi, and chandas—showing that mantra practice must be grounded in precise transmission (rishi) and correct metrical/phonetic form (chandas).
Bhakti here is expressed as disciplined mantra-upāsanā: devotion becomes effective when the deity (Tripurabhairavī) is approached through correctly known mantra-components rather than vague sentiment.
Chandas (a Vedāṅga) is directly referenced through the identification of the Paṅkti metre, emphasizing correct metrical recitation as a practical requirement for mantra-japa and ritual usage.
