Manu-smṛti 2.30 · inspected electronic text
nāmadheyaṃ daśamyāṃ tu dvādaśyāṃ vāsya kārayet | puṇye tithau muhūrte vā nakṣatre vā guṇānvite ||The verse addresses naming on the tenth or twelfth day, or under a favourable calendrical condition. Practice and applicability still require family and paramparā context.
Verification boundary
This witness does not establish the former four-name system, sound-vibration claims, or a universal nakṣatra-syllable prescription.
Mantra, procedure, timing, and health boundary
Vidhyamitra does not publish a “primary mantra,” canonical procedure, modern adaptation, medical effect, or personal timing instruction for this rite until each claim is checked against a named edition and address. Living ritual performance belongs with a qualified guru or paṇḍita in the relevant family and regional paramparā; medical care belongs with qualified clinicians.
🪷 A disclosed calendar-factor comparison supports this event label.
Sources and Connected Saṁskāra Readings
After the record's textual witness and verification boundary, these links connect the received catalogue, source-status context, hosted thematic readings, and Vidhyamitra's Bindu and philosophy foundations. A connected reading is not evidence for a rite's mantra, procedure, timing, or medical effect.
