峾ṅk (नामाङ्�) refers to “proclaiming the name� (of the king), according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 19.110-113, while describing the king’s consecration]—“[The mantrin] who is free from doubt should consecrate [the king] in a solitary place at night and on a day of auspicious protection. With auspicious cries like ‘victory!� and the sounds of the auspicious Veda (岹-ṅg-ԾḥsԲ), he should consecrate [the king] with water and make oblations of white mustard seeds [while he] proclaims the name (峾ṅk) [of the king] [...]�.
