Sanatkumara (teaching Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It teaches focused dhyāna: the deity is contemplated as centrally installed in a yantra, yet ultimately one—manifesting as sixteen aspects—so the practitioner unifies multiplicity into a single devotional vision.
Bhakti here is expressed as intimate remembrance (smaraṇa) and gentle, steady contemplation of the Devi’s presence; devotion becomes precise through yantra-centered meditation while maintaining the insight of one underlying divinity.
It reflects technical upāsanā method—yantra-pratiṣṭhā (installing/placing the deity in a yantra) and dhyāna-lakṣaṇa (meditation markers), a procedural discipline aligned with ritual-science style teachings found in Book 1.3.
