śrī mahānyāsam - 5.2. dik sampuṭanyāsaḥ (sampuṭīkaraṇam)

Dik Samputa Nyasa is a critical segment of the Shri Mahanyasam, a ritualistic procedure used to sanctify the body through the invocation of divine energies in the cardinal directions. Drawing from the Taittiriya Samhita, this practice involves placing specific Vedic mantras in the ten directions to invoke the protection and presence of Indra and other deities surrounding Lord Shiva. By systematically aligning one's physical form with the cosmic directions, the practitioner purifies their being, attains mental focus, and prepares the body to become a vessel for the ultimate worship of Lord Rudra-Shiva.
