Worship of the Nine Vyūhas (Nava-vyūha-arcana)
本章先标示前一章灯施戒（Dīpadāna-vrata）的圆满，随即转入由哈利（Hari）传授的九重毗优诃礼（Navavyūha-arcana）之技术性仪轨。阿耆尼讲解莲华曼荼罗的安置：以婆苏提婆（Vāsudeva）居中，复将僧羯罗沙那（Saṅkarṣaṇa）、普罗陀优摩那（Pradyumna）、阿尼卢陀（Aniruddha）与那罗延那（Nārāyaṇa）依方位布列，并各配以种子音（bīja）及相应的元素/祭仪处所（含置水之法）。继而详述与萨德梵摩（Sadbrahmā）、毗湿奴（Viṣṇu）、人狮（Nṛsiṃha）、地野猪（Bhūr-Varāha）等相关形相的咒—种子音对应，以及门阈与西方分区的辅助安置，并列举涉及迦楼罗（Garuḍa）与伽陀（gadā，钉锤）咒的专门程序。仪次由外在曼荼罗建构转为内摄：依十支次第（daśāṅga-krama）礼拜，安置守方护神之水罐（ghaṭa），观想门楼（toraṇa）与华盖（vitāna），并于月甘露中修习微细身禅观。终以十二种子音行安置法（nyāsa）而成“天身”，并说明以掷花辨识弟子、净化所需火供（homa）次数及灌顶（dīkṣā）费用，彰显入门乃祭仪学之社会与灵性印契。

Frequently Asked Questions
A lotus-maṇḍala Navavyūha worship beginning with Vāsudeva at the center, followed by directional deity placements with specific bīja-syllables, then internalization through visualization, daśāṅga-krama, and nyāsa culminating in dīkṣā.
After mandala and mantra placements, it shifts to subtle-body contemplation (lunar nectar), self-identification with Viṣṇu, and nyāsa that produces a “divine body,” explicitly valuing heart-worship of Hari (anirmālyā) as the inner completion of the rite.
Disciples are seated to the left, identify a chosen form by blind flower-casting, perform homa with 108 and then 1000 oblations for purification, and receive dīkṣā after payment of prescribed fees honoring the guru.
