What are the five suktas recited during Narayan Bali?

The Garuda Purana prescribes five Vedic hymns recited simultaneously by five qualified Brahmins: the Brahma Sukta (addressing the creative divine), the Vishnu Sukta (invoking divine protection for the soul), the Rudra Sukta (dissolving the karmic knot of unnatural death), the Yama Sukta (petitioning Yama to claim the soul), and the Preta Sukta (purifying the soul in its trapped state). The simultaneous recitation of all five creates a five-directional intervention addressing every dimension of the soul’s condition.
