The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
द्रामाद्यां द्राविणीं मूर्ध्निं द्रामाद्यां क्षोभणी पदे । क्लींवशीकरणीं वक्त्रे गुह्ये ब्लृं बीजपूर्विकाम् ॥ ५३ ॥
drāmādyāṃ drāviṇīṃ mūrdhniṃ drāmādyāṃ kṣobhaṇī pade | klīṃvaśīkaraṇīṃ vaktre guhye blṛṃ bījapūrvikām || 53 ||
Hãy làm nyāsa: an trí âm “drām” gọi là Drāviṇī, đấng ban phú quý, trên đỉnh đầu; an trí âm “drām” gọi là Kṣobhaṇī, năng lực khuấy động, nơi bàn chân; đặt âm “klīṃ” khiến thành tựu vaśīkaraṇa (thu hút, nhiếp phục) nơi miệng; và tại chỗ kín, đặt âm bắt đầu bằng chủng tử “blṛṃ”.
Sanatkumara (in instruction to Narada on technical mantra-nyasa practice)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It teaches a precise nyāsa (ritual placement) of specific bīja-syllables on the body, presenting the body as a sacred support for mantra-shakti—prosperity (drāviṇī), activation (kṣobhaṇī), attraction (klīṃ), and a guarded inner potency (blṛṃ).
While primarily technical, it supports bhakti-oriented worship by prescribing a disciplined preparatory rite (nyāsa) that steadies speech, mind, and body for focused japa and pūjā, making devotion more concentrated and ritually correct.
It highlights applied mantra-vidyā within the technical disciplines—how specific seed syllables are assigned to bodily loci (a procedural ritual science), emphasizing correct phonetic form and placement as part of effective practice.
