The Description of the Four Durgā Mantras
हस्ताब्जैर्धृतपुष्पेषुप्रणामामृतसप्रभाः । अष्टयोनिष्वष्टशक्तीः पूजयेत्सुभगादिकाः ॥ ७४ ॥
hastābjairdhṛtapuṣpeṣupraṇāmāmṛtasaprabhāḥ | aṣṭayoniṣvaṣṭaśaktīḥ pūjayetsubhagādikāḥ || 74 ||
Với đôi tay như hoa sen đang cầm những mũi tên hoa, rực sáng như cam lộ của lễ đảnh lễ, người ta nên thờ kính tám Śakti—khởi từ Subhagā—trong tám hình thái yoni (nguồn sinh).
Narada (teaching ritual procedure, in dialogue context with the Sanatkumara tradition)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It emphasizes that worship becomes effective when performed with reverent humility (praṇāma) and precise ritual placement—honoring divine powers (Śaktis) as present in structured cosmic forms (the eight yonis).
Bhakti is expressed through embodied reverence: offering flowers with “lotus-hands” and cultivating a nectar-like mood of surrender, while honoring the divine energies as worthy of systematic worship.
It reflects ritual-technical vidhi: prescribed upacāra (flower offering), ordered invocation (Subhagā-ādikā series), and structured worship-loci (aṣṭa-yoni), aligning practice with a codified liturgical framework.
